We briefly considered having coffee with Ernest Hemmingway




La Closerie des Lilas, 171 Boulevard du Montparnasse 75006 Paris

The Lilas (lilacs) is famous for being the hangout of Hemmingway, Picasso, Lenine, Man Ray, Lauren Bacall and many, many others but with entres at 48 Euros (about $60 Canadian) Marilyn and I decided that a turkey wrap, decalf coffee, and a shared chocolate chip cookie at Starbucks (19 euros for the two of us) would be more accommodating to our dejeuner (lunch) budget.

Writing in Paris - minus Cuban rum and cigar




Here I am in Paris creating great literature. Who needs rum, bull fights and cigars! Wait a moment - his work is loved by millions of people. Only my mother likes my novels.

Quick! Where can I buy a cheap cigar and some rum?
