Coyoac\u00e1n, a historic neighborhood 7 miles south of Centro Historico, was the home of many famous artists and intellectuals. It\u2019s described as having a \u201cbohemian spirit with artsy cafes, shady parks and plazas, and excellent museums\u201d.

The Frida Kahlo Museum (Casa Azul)<\/strong> is very popular, so we purchased our tickets online before we left Atlanta. We had a 1:15 pm reservation but that seems to be a very popular time as the museum was extremely crowded. In spite of that, we enjoyed seeing her family home, her collection of Mexican art and artifacts, her own paintings, and the beautiful gardens.<\/p>\n

Kahlo had a complicated life\u2026here\u2019s one description to summarize: \u00a0\u201cFrida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who transformed lifelong pain\u2014physical, emotional, and political\u2014into fiercely personal self-portraits that explored identity, gender, and Mexican nationalism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Even a couple of large scoops of ice cream didn\u2019t prepare us for an Uber ride through the chaotic streets of Mexico City in rush-hour traffic. \u00a0(we won\u2019t try that again!)<\/p>\n
