We left after breakfast on the 3rd, the warm sun beckoning us to stay but we wanted to get to Mexico City before it was too late and visit the Frida Kahlo museum. If you know your art you'll know Frida is considered the most significant Mexican artist of the 20th century and I was thrilled to be able to visit her 'blue' home in the city. The museum detailed the tempestuous relationship she had with another renowned Mexican artist, the muralist Diego Rivera and as well as her powerful political ideals and her illicit and controversial affair with Leop Trotsky.. Lots of good stuff for a couple of hours in and outside in her garden. Must watch the movie Frida now with Salma Hayek! gws
