santiago

I was not sure what to expect arriving in Santiago, Chile, other than great wine. it is a rather non-descript city. a safe and comfortable place to live and work where you can enjoy a good quality of life. there is a European flair here, particularly in my favorite bohemian neighborhood, Bellavista, with many outdoor cafes and galleries. that is where we found the home of Pablo Naruda, as well as beautiful murals exhibiting his likeness and poetry. he was quite a witty man and had a most particular design sensibility. his home was created to feel as though you are on a boat, crooked floors, low ceilings, circular windows...ironically, he was afraid of the sea.
