I loved the tour of
Pablo Neruda’s house, particularly because of the location and the
views. I couldn’t believe how much the coast line looked like the
northern coast of California with the cliffs and rocky shores. I
understand why Neruda loved that place and felt inspired to write
poetry. (Lindsey)
I was amazed at
how calculated everything was at Neruda’s house. He built his house in
the shape of a boat – wider in the middle, narrower at the ends. The
doors were low and staircases were tight, like you’d find in a ship. He
had a lot of strange collections like miniature boats in glass bottles
which were placed on glass shelves in front of a window facing the ocean
so that when you look at them, it looks like they are floating on the
ocean. He also had a beautiful collection of sea shells from all over
the world. (Lindsey)
