Colonia Roma is amazing!
We woke up early to find some coffee and walk around the neighborhood to admire the architecture, the vibe and the local shops.
The neighborhood was build around the turn of the century, between 1877 and 1911, when president Porfirio D铆az was promoting urban expansion. The city at that point was limited to historic district we visited yesterday.
After walking around for a bit and admiring the architecture. It was time to visit the Frida Kahlo museum. A museum dedicated to one of the most important and iconic artists in Mexico's history.
The museum is located in the house where Frida lived with her husband, renowned muralist Diego Rivera, author of some of the most recognizable murals in Mexico, such as this one, titled Dia de Muertos
This is my beautiful partner in crime 
The very first room has some of the paintings Frida made as a young girl. They are on display in a room she claims to have been born in. There are also pages from her diary, where she writes about the colors she chose and the themes in some of her paintings.
The next room had photographs of Frida taken by Lucienne Bloch, a a Switzerland-born American artist and photographer who was an apprentice of Diego and later befriended Frida. You can see her here biting a necklace, combing her hair or enjoying a boat ride in the river.
The next room was the kitchen where the table was set and all the glassware and stoneware was left exactly as it was when in use.
Leading out of the kitchen were some stairs that took us into Pedro Rivera's studio
And next to that was the guest room.
Above the bed, there is a sign that reads "Machila Armida's house" Machila was one of Frida's best friends.
If you look closely, you'll notice some butterflies framed and hung from the ceiling of the bed. These were a gift from Japanese sculptor Isamu Noguchi.
Walking out of the bedroom is this spectacular patio
The most surprising part of the museum was the next room. It held some of the darkest secrets of Frida Kahlo.
You see, Frida was affected by polio when she was young and as a consequence, her right leg was much thinner than her right leg. She also had to use crutches and long dresses to hide her appearance.
When she was 18, she was involved in an accident. The bus she was on collided with a tram and even though she survived, she was impaled by the tram's handrail leaving her scarred, in pain and unable to bear children. She had to wear a number of corsets to help her posture and hide the scars.
When we finished the museum tour, we needed to get hydrated. Lucky for us there was a man selling cold coconuts right outside Ice-cold coconut water definitely hits the spot.
What comes after an entire morning of museum walking? Yes! you guessed it! a delicious beer with grilled shrimp on top! salud!
This is a famous seafood restaurant called Mi Compa Chava. It's located in Coyoac谩n.
They have an amazing selection of chili peppers such as this one called panty-ripper, lol.
The clam kind of looks like Pepe, don't you think?
This is an example of the phrase never judge a book by its cover. It's located in a hole in the wall in a residential area in Mexico City. So inconspicuous, we walked right past it and thought we were on the wrong street.
And it was absolutely delicious!
We came here by recommendation of (and in the company of) International food critic, Beto Ballesteros.
He basically asked the chef to keep it coming. And he certainly did.
Plate after plate came out of the kitchen. They were not only beautiful to look at, they were delicious and different from each other.
Last but not least in our culinary exploration was Niich, one of the newer restaurants in town and an experience I can only describe as Circ Du Soleil for your taste buds.
Whew!
It's time to say salud! and good evening.
What a way to end the night in Mexico City!
