Pablo Neruda

We went to see Pablo Neruda's house in Santiago and it was great. Admittedly I don't know much about him, but his homes and collections are fascinating. He collected everything - ship stuff, paintings, oversized shoes, plates, art, glasses, etc.

He believed that if drinking water out of colored glasses it tasted better and if he didn't like someone they got clear glasses.... I am thinking of starting that tradition.

He also believed that every house needed at least one bar if not more.

I believe that drinking water out of colored glasses tastes better too! That's why I stole another red frosted glass at El Azteco when I was home in Lansing last week.
