In spite of all her pains, Frida Kahlo loved life. Her home in Coyoacan, in addition to being a museum dedicated to her life and work, is also a monument to her love of life. I would absolutely risk getting hit by a bus again to visit her home one more time, if I had the chance.

I made this video when I myself was suffering from a bit of a local malaise. Whether it was Montezuma's Revenge or Cuauhtemoc's Kidding Around, it certainly left me feeling poorly for the day, but I wasn't going to let my historical junket go to waste!

The Sierra Madre Oriental between Puebla and Veracruz are amazing peaks, and crossing them means entering "Zonas Nieblas" - cloud zones - which, coupled with "curvas peligrosas" and steep slopes, make for an interesting journey, to say the least. I have to say, though, of all the driving I did...

Leaving Tres Zapotes, we tested a road heading out to see if it was as bad as the one we came in on. It wasn't. It also wasn't the way to Santiago Tuxtla, as I had thought. An even better road took us there. Ironically, an earlier traveler had rated the road between Tuxtla and Tres Zapotes as...

Filmed right where Trotsky's ashes are interred, at where he lived in Coyoacan. I have a few errors, though: 1. Trotsky's murderer actually posed as an intellectual and showed Trotsky an article. While Trotsky was engrossed in it, he dealt the death blow. 2. It was an ice AXE, not an ice PICK. ...
