This is where Ernest Hemingway lived at one time and wrote "For Whom The Bell Tolls".

They still serve a fantastic Mohito. The piano player was also particularly good. Friendly and humble about his skill too.

I enjoyed my couple of visits there.

This is the dedication to John Lennon, in or near Strawberry Fields, in central park.

Apparently, there are fresh flowers every day.

Imagine.

This was taken in Merida, Mexico. It had been a very warm evening, I don't know how this guy survived in trousers.

Needless to say, his guitar playing was fantastic.

He kindly agreed to pose for me here.

I'm positive, it's west 4th street.

This is me on the steps of 161 west 4th street, in New York City.

This is an address that Bob Dylan once had. It was a hot and balmy summer.

Ain't it just like the night...
