I remember how surprised I was to learn about all of Frida's bad luck and physical ailments. Yet none of it stopped her. Remarkable woman. And that last photo of you is very poignant.

I have always been fascinated by Frida. An exotic and resilient woman who wasn't overshadowed by her artistic partner, which is often not the case in the world of creativity. Loved the film made about her life some years back.

And while you're in Mexico City, there is far more to explore.
