Frida's House!


Frida's House!
Originally uploaded by tjdee
Kathleen, Jésus and I are back from Mexico City. We went in large part to see the special exhibitions honoring the 100th anniversary of Frida Kahlo's birth. This is her family home and official museum in Coyoacan, part of the Distrito Federal, but there also were items on display at Palacio de las Bellas Artes in the city center.

Frida's house featured a crazy long line and an unexpected run-in with someone from K's past. ¡Muy extraño!

More photos/vignettes/videos to come.

Guns! Bullets!


Guns! Bullets!

I opted to shoot the hostage, of course.

This was scary but fun. Our teacher told us every one of his students hit the bull's eye on their first or second practice shot and, true to form, we all did.

The craziest thing: The way the gun recoils always had me freaking out about not shooting straight and missing the target (you can only miss the sheet once - twice and you're asked to leave) but I never missed. Weird.
