After visiting Pablo Neruda's third house yesterday in La Isla Negra, which is not an island, I think that I would have loved to know him. Although, he was married three times and had quite the reputation with women, his life, collections, poems, travels, and adventures are all too intoxicating, as I am sure every other women has seen, sees and will see him. He is not the most attractive man, but there is something magnetic about his houses and all the stories that are still untold.....I guess it is just my luck that the only Chilean man that has called my attention is in fact a dead poet! Oh well, that is the great irony of life I guess. If you ever visit Chile, make sure to visit one of his houses, there is one in Santiago, Valparaiso, and La Isla Negra. "Love is so short, forgetting so long." -Pablo Neruda
