On Sunday morning, we got up early to embrace our inner tourist. I had a plan for the day, must've inherited that trait from my dad, to go to Coyoacan, la casa azul, and the market. I have mastered the DF subway system at this point. How could you not for only 2 pesos/ride? We started at the Coyocan Mall where we conquered Zara in about an hour and each had prized finds that could not go left unpurchased. :)After the shopping itch was relieved, we headed for the museum and market. About a 25 minute walk, we lingered under these lovely purple trees to take a midway break. They are by far my favorite in Mexico. Finally, we arrived at Casa Azul, the house of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera between 1941 and 1954. It was amazing. They were so in love and you could feel it in the walls. Probably helped that the museum posted photos of them together all over the place, but still. That much talent under one roof is pretty incredible. The house itself was a giant square with a large courtyard in the middle. Artwork like this Diego Rivera sculpture could be found in every crevice.
