after our friday afternoon of exploring the zocalo, and an early night in to catch up on sleep we knew we'd need, robin and i set out early saturday morning to find frida's house.
it took some searching and map flipping, but we finally found it.
such a cool experience. we were able to see some of the preserved spaces of her and diego and walked through rooms that had been converted into studios to showcase a variety of work of both her and diego from throughout their respective careers.
we saw an exhibit of some of their personal photos and drank coffee and had a snack in a little cafe in their courtyard. it was a really cool experience.
later in the day, we went to the museum of modern art. i turned a corner in one of the salas to find "two fridas." it was a surprise, and it would be a lie if i did not say that being able to see such a beautiful piece of art in full detail did not make me tear up a little bit. because it totally did.
