  2. No problem. I was a spanish major, and I actually went to her childhood home my final semester.

  3. James, where is that. I have been to the house where she lived with Diego Rivera in Coyoacan, perhaps my favorite area of D.F. a few times.

    Nice picture Shaw. Nice to see someone else appreciate a little of the Mexican Culture.

    The painting you posted is called "Nude with Calla Lilies." It was painted in 1944.

    On a related note, you might enjoy the music of Lila Downs who sang "La Llorona" in the movie "Frida."

    Her music is incredible.

  4. Thank you, Dave. I had another title on it earlier, then realized I may have confused it with something else.

    Thanks for finding me the correct title.

  5. Oops, Dave, you're right. I went to the home she shared with Diego as well. I went to Diego's childhood home, in Guanajuato.

  6. James, yo tambien. Actually I stayed at a small rooming house across the street and about two doors down from that house.

    Guanajuato is one of my favorite Mexican cities to visit.

  7. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and
    I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  8. Have you ever thought about publishing an ebook or guest
    authoring on other blogs? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would
    love to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would enjoy your
    work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.

  9. Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one
    and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam remarks?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything
    you can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
