Most interesting thing as a Local Guide: a list of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's places

Since I started being a local guide, I was gladly impressed to see how many cultural and historic places around the world members post about. I took for granted some international destinations in Mexico City that II’ve known for many years, but as seeing other Local Guides’s posts about their culture I decided to create a list to share about some of the most important places i that are part of the love, life and work of iconic Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, knowing that many around the world love their work and are passionate also about their lives as much as I am. I planned a weeks itinerary to go back to those places that I hadn’t visit recently to post about them, including the Frida Kahlo Museum that has long lines to enter on a daily basis, the Anahuacalli museum that hosts about 2000 original pre-hispanic art pieces collected by Diego Rivera for decades and a a quiet park with recently created sculptures of the beloved couple. It was big challenge and it came out better than I expected, as for most of those places where first time for my wife and kids, I was amazed to see how much they where enjoying this artistic route and grateful for these new memories we where creating. I even took some time to do another of my favorite activities, drawing. Taking pics and paying attention to all details that would help other local guides was a great experience, It made me feel connected and inspired on how local activities can have also global impact.
