Any first visit to Coyoacan usually includes a visit to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul. In addition to a lovely home and interesting museum, the gardens are well worth the trip in and of themselves.
Of course,since this is a popular tourist destination, it's all the more pleasant when you can find yourself relatively alone in the gardens on a day when the crowds are light.
Wander along the paths surrounded by the most lucious flora one can find in a relatively compact space in any city. Sprinkled throughout are numerous artifacts that only increase the exotic feeling the owners themselves must have once felt as they passed time in this paradise behind stone walls.
After visiting the museum, treat yourself to a coffee or cold drink at the small cafe on the grounds. No need to hurry back to the more frenetic atmosphere found at the central square. Better yet, after visiting here, head a few blocks away to the Trotsky House/Museum for another repite from the madness of the city. Thanks for these great photos brother Bob.
