I really like Santiago... and you can see the reasons in all the pictures. Today I visited Pablo Neruda's house and it was amazing. His house it was made to be simillar to a ship. It was Neruda who designed it. He loved the sea and considered himself a captain! So everything there was based on the sea and on his love Matilde, his big love and his inspiration.
Tomorrow I will go to the beach, Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, two beach towns near Santiago. On summer all Santiago moves there... so I I'm also moving there :)

Wonderful house
Pablo Neruda's eyes are watching you everywhere
When Pablo was 12 years old read in a magazin the name of Jan Neruda, a czech writer. He was looking for an artisitc name and he loved that name, so he picked it.

Pablo Neruda designed this house based on a ship... he loved the sea as soon as he saw it for the first time, when he was 6
The symbol of the house it reperesents his love Matilde
