Today was a beautiful day at Isla de Negra and Pomaire. Sunny skies made the trip pleasant. Isla de Negra is a 2-3 hour drive west of Santiago, Chile. We visited a poets house, which was turned into a museum. This famous chilean is Pablo Neruda, a artistic poet and an avid collector. He collected many items, from piano leg stands, to beetles, to sperm whale teeth, and shells. To accommodate his collections, he expanded his house for a new set of collections. His house started from a simple one house room, to about 5 - 6 bedrooms, maybe more?!
After touring the museum, we traveled to Pomaire, where we had authentic Chilean lunch. This 3 coarse meal included an empenada for appetizer, a main dish of chicken, corn, onions, and beef?, and a peach and corn dessert. To top it off, the meal was accompanied with el vino rojo. Chileans sure know how to eat.
It's been a great day so far. More to come tonight as we go bar hopping in Bella Vista. It's going to be EXCITING!!!!
