On the eight day in Mexico City, we met more of the wedding guests for the first time in the morning. the plans for the day were to take the city bus on a tour to Coyoacán, with the intent to see some of the city on the way there. once there we would visit La Casa Azul, or Frida Kahlo’s house, and after that eat a late lunch.
So, that morning we all got together and walked towards the bus.

the bus ended up being a really really really long journey. and well, by the time we finally got off everyone had to run for the restroom. so lets not talk about the bus anymore, but either way, i got a few pictures along the way

and then we were onto the full museum part. now i did not know a lot about Frida Kahlo before i went, but she was a very influential artist in mexico city, and married to Diego Rivera. i recommend you look her up on wikipedia, and read some about her. I took a lot of photos inside the house, and of her art, so ill just show some of those now.
