Pablo Neruda

When Zac and I got married in December, our friend Nikita read a sonnet by a Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda. A few days ago, Zac and I visited his house!

Well, now it's a museum, Museo La Chascona. My Lonely Planet book says it was named for the 'snarled locks' of Pablo Neruda's widow. It's a lovely little oasis in the middle of Santiago. Poetry surrounds the entrance, banister-ed stairs and leafy trees are everywhere... 


  ...and there are plenty of convenient benches scattered about which are handy for figuring out where to head next!
