Coyoacán
 
The Streets of Coyoacán

 
 
 
We took the metro from the Zona Rosa at the Insurgentes stop down into Coyoacán to Viveros. The mile walk into downtown was quite nice and we discovered a great little breakfast place with fresh pan, strong coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice and good huevos rancheros for about $1.50 each.
 
Casa Azul de Frida Kahlo y Trotsky's
 
 
Unfortunately, we have no pictures to share of Dos Fridas or the death cards as picture taking was not allowed in the blue house. Trotsky's place was situated right under a highway at the last street's cutofft. Simple, elegant, humble. Unfortunately, Trotsky met with an untimely demise with an ice ax as a fellow who made nice by sleeping with Trotsky's secretary was allowed into his office. See the clipping above- Stalin, The Executioner, Alone Remains. Actually Stalin was responsible for the death of almost all of Trotsky's family- his first wife, his sister, his brother, two sons, two daughters, two son-in-laws and three nephews.
