Let us remember and honor the great novelist and journalist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, one of my all-time favorite writers---Ernest Hemingway---today on his 114th birth anniversary.

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an outstanding American author and journalist. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in 1954.

I admire Hemingway's powerful yet understated, elegant yet economic and clean literary writing style as well as his robust, adventurous life!

I had recently bought a private resort in Pansol, Laguna from the Collantes family, renamed it Hemingway Eco-Resort, and I'm now renovating this garden-style and tropical-inspired private resort as my humble way of honoring this outstanding and great writer.
