Frida´s House

This is Frida Kahlo´s House, known as the Casa Azul (for pretty obvious reasons). I was forbidden to take any photos inside, which is too bad, because it was quite lovely. It was filled with art of Diego Rivera´s and some of Frida´s , but what I loved were there collectiosn of Mexican art, especially these little paintings that people had done to give thanks for being cured of different ailments. There was an entire wall of the house covered by them. Also, in the kitchen, someone, maybe Frida, had made these amazing designs using these little ceramic pots - they were arranged on the walls in the shapes of birds and flowers and such. The only problem with the house is that it was too small to have hundreds of tourits tromping through at one time. I really would have liked to have been able to tour it myself (like I did in Trotsky´s home, which was not as lovely, but was empty of tourists). This is the outside wall of the house.
