Comrade Trotsky, We Know Where You Live!

Trotsky House. Guntower added after first assignation attempt.

Coyoacan is one of the most delightful neighborhoods in DF. This is where Diego and Frida lived. Since I had visited their house (La Casa Azul) on an earlier trip, today, my sights were set on the Trotsky House and Museum. Again, if you saw the movie Frida, she and Trotsky became special friends that ultimately lead to a most strained relationship between the Riveras and the Trotskys.

Trotsky Study Where He Was Murdered

Trotsky lived in this house just over a year. However, his grandson maintained it for many more years after his death in 1940. It's a wonderfully peaceful spot and one can only imagine what it was like in Coyoacan then as a rural area outside the city. Any history lover would enjoy a visit to Trotsky's exile home in Mexico.

The Windows & Doors Series

What a world of photographic treasures one finds when traveling! Windows and doors are some of my favorite objects to snap photos of in Mexico. Apparently, I'm not the only one who enjoys photographing this subject matter. While walking through the Coyoacan neighborhood, I caught this tourista doing exactly what I was intending to do. I guess, great minds think alike! Watch for more window and door pictures over the next few weeks.
