Is Dave actually familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda? Dave is indeed familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda. He and the Complimentary Spouse have visited the late poet’s three homes in Chile. No photos were allowed inside.

All three of Neruda’s homes have nautical themes, and two of them have views of the ocean. We learned that Neruda loved the sea — but, believe it or not, he was scared of the water.

I am afraid of everyone,
of the cold water, of the death.
I am like all the mortals,
unavoidable.

Excerpt from “The Fear” by Pablo Neruda
