Mexico XII - Coyoacan

March 2009. I absolutely love spending a Saturday in Coyoacan. I regret not considering this area when we were looking for housing in Mexico City. This neighborhood is made up of multi-colored homes, cobblestone streets and has more of a bohemian feel. The market has the best seafood tostadas in all of D.F. and there are lots of little art museums. It is only about a 10 minute drive from Polanco (as long as you don't hit traffic!)



Best picture of the Day! Alexandra with one of Diego Rivera's statues. These were all over the yard of the casa azul.

Visiting Frida and Diego's house (La Casa Azul) in Coyoacan. I love the girls' pose!

Timmy sitting next to aa statue. It could have been made of him, back 2000 yrs ago or so.

Julianna posing next to one of fountains in Frida Kahlo's garden.

I really love all the color in Mexico - too bad the HOA only allows shades of brown!

If you want really good seafood tostados, this restaurant in the middle of the Coyoacan market has the BEST tostadas I have ever tried. They serve them with about 8 different choices of salsa, a big slice of avacado. To die for!!!

Waiting for our "Tacos al Pastor" - Yum! For those of you in the Phoenix area, according to the Mexican I met at Garage Sales, you can find Tacos al Pastor in Southwest Phoenix. (the area that always seems to be on the news for something or other... but hey, I'd go there for these tacos!)

The whole family in front of the Coyotes fountain. The name Coyoacan actually comes from a Nahuatl words meaning "land of the coyotes."
