It is said that everything happens for a reason in life.
She lived a life of physical pain and even so she had the strength to live a life that many of us struggle to achieve. A life full of passion. What I admire the most is her dedication which regardless of her condition, she made a her life a reflection of what she was. Be it, what it be, it was her way. She made sure to be truthful to herself.
My first visit to Mexico City was short but that short time was enough to take a good bite of it
First time to use the metro and I have no clue.. I manage to find the bus that we´ll take me to the Metro station. It´s a sunny bright day with a cool breeze. A guy carrying a heavy bag sits next to me. He´s wearing a cool pair of sunglasses. I ask him what time it is; it´s early still. He gets off at the same bus stop as me, we enter the metro, and I have a very stupid smile in my face, I want to hide it, it shows that I´m new at this... but I´m excited about using the metro. I walk towards the poster on the wall trying to see how can I get to Coyoacán. The guy I entered with points to the place where I can buy a ticket. That´s helpful (This tells me that I did no succeed on hiding my amateur smile...) I approach to him to ask something and at the same time another girl does the same. It end ups that the three of us needed to use the same line to get to our destinations. We made each other company while walking to take the metro. I had already made friends!
After some time in the metro, it starts to smell like if something were burning. The metro car stops and we all need to leave, the metro car is setting up on fire. The three of us leave the metro station and emerge at a very busy street with a big market in the corner. We walk towards it and decide to have lunch there.
We got back to the metro and the day was long enough to leave the girl at the bust station so that she could go to her final destination and for us to head back to Coyoacán to visit the Blue House.
Frida´s Museum also known as the Blue House is in the city of Coyoacán, México DF. In order to get there from the airport, all you need to do is to take the metro which is at the airport. Once you are in Coyoacán, take a taxi to the Blue House. As easy as that. While I was planning my trip there I tried to look for a more detailed description however now I know why there was none, it is very simple, just follow the metro routes and you´ll know where to get off and taxi´s and food are cheap in Mexico.
Once in the museum, you can leave your stuff at the reception and if you wish to take pictures, you´ll need to pay an extra charge. I went on a Wednesday, and lucky for me, they close late on this day.
I loved to get in contact with Frida´s history and Mexican culture. What I want to take from this museum visit is the pleasure I had to get in touch with a woman´s history that was so ahead from her time. Her fearless passion to unrestricted express her life.
