When Ernest and Hadley first arrived in Paris, they had Christmas dinner at The Cafe de la Paix, a cafe on the Right Bank. When the bill came, they realized that they didn't have enough money to pay the bill. While Hadley waited, Ernest ran the several miles back to their apartment to get the money. Hemingway mentions the cafe in The Sun also Rises and My Old Man.
Happy Holidays, everyone, from Hemingway's Paris.

Hello, Nikon!
Happy New Year.
Paul, Thank you for the add-on! This is the place where he and Hadley first drank the warm rum punches that he said: "entered you like the Holy Spirit".
Joe, you are a fount of knowledge!
Thanks!
Just discovered your blog about Hemingway in Paris. What would he thought about Catalonia´s wish to abolish bullfighting? What do you think yourself? Bullfightings is a whole ritual but also controversila uissue nowadays. Happy New Year! Come to visit my blog!
Hello, Isbelle, thanks for the visit!
(I couldn't go to a bullfight, I don't think!!)
Hi Paul! I also had dinner at the Dôme, but I'm not on the list of famous... ;))

Beautiful blog. Have you read "That Summer in Paris" by Morley Calaghan??? A great book.
Thanks for the visit, Civilla.
I haven't read that book, but I will look for it at the library - thanks for the tip!
Pleased to follow your blog, Nikon. Have you seen this sitehttp://frenchfolio.hwelty.com/FrenchFolio/Home.html
An American in Paris!
Yes, Morley Calaghan (Calahan?) was a friend of Hemingway's and wrote the book "That Summer in Paris" about being there with F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald, and Hemingway. It was a non-fiction book and it was great. I can't exactly remember how to spell the last name. Perhaps you could google it.
Yes, Nikon, go here http://www.todayinliterature.com/biography/morley.callaghan.asp
to read a little about the book, That Summer in Paris. You can also google Morley Callaghan (that is the proper spelling) and read about him.
Hi, I found a review of it at Amazon.com. The spelling of his name is: Morley Callaghan.
It sounds very interesting - I'll try and find it here.
(I also checked out the web site - she is leading a very envious life in Paris :)
Glad you could google it. I don't know about "she". This Morley Callaghan was a man and wrote the book That Summer in Paris in about 1929 or thereabouts. He was a contemporary of Hemingway.
Hi, sorry about the mix up - I meant the woman that is living as an expat in Paris - that web site that you mentioned.
Hi Paul! Thanks for your comment at my new blog Blogtrotter Two, now at the Art Deco District in South Beach! Hope to read you there! Have a great week ahead!!!
Who did the painting?
Oh, ok! You have such a cool site! I went to Paris once in the 70's and it was lovely!
Kristine, I don't remember! I found it on a Google Image Search ages ago......Sorry!!
Hi Civilla, I have never been there! I have a lot of folks that visit the blog that have been there, though.
People definitely fall in love with Paris :)
Hi Paul! Blogtrotter 2 is departing Miami by sea. Hope you like it and have a great week!!

Is that colorful painting of Paris some of your handiwork?
Hmmm....
Bonne Anneeee 2010
My friend and I were recently discussing about the prevalence of technology in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.

Lovely painting, and such a beautiful complimentary image...
What's the name of the painting?
Hi C.K. - I don't have the name of the painting.
I had a lot of photos and art work about Paris, & Hem, on my old hard drive. That became toast earlier this year.
I can try hunting it down later if you want.
