I was surfing the net when I came across this article:
Eight places every woman should go
1. For inspiration and enlightenment: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
2. For indulgence: Lingerie shopping in Paris
3. For purification and beautification: The banyas of Moscow and St. Petersburg
4. To celebrate powerful women and their places in history: Frida Kahlo's Mexico
(Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is one of history's grand divas. A tequila-slamming, dirty joke-telling smoker, she hobbled about her bohemian barrio in lavish indigenous dress and threw dinner parties for the likes of Leon Trotsky, poet Pablo Neruda, Nelson Rockefeller, and her on-again, off-again husband, muralist Diego Rivera. Half a century after her death, her work fetches more money than any other female artist's (Madonna is said to be an avid collector), and she was the first Latina ever featured on a U. S. postage stamp. Visiting her cobalt blue home in Coyoacan is like stepping inside one of her fantastical paintings. The walls are awash with color and mosaics; a Day of the Dead altar yields pastries, flowers, candles, and papier mâché skeletons; the courtyard blooms with tropical flowers and cactus. Her personal effects are displayed throughout the house, including her pre-Hispanic jewelry, sketchbook diaries, love letters, artwork, and corset-like body cast. (Stricken with polio as a child, she shattered her spine in a bus accident at age eighteen.) Frida t-shirts, computer mousepads, and coffee cups are sold in the gift shop, and you can sip a café con leche in the tranquil café. La Casa Azul is located on Londres 247 and accessible by the Coyoacan Viveros Metro Station in Mexico City.)
5. To celebrate struggle and renewal: Arts and voodoo festivals in Benin
6. For womanly affirmation: Belly dancing in San Francisco, New York, or Austin
7. For all-around wonder: Mongolia
8. Just for the fun of it: The Bahamian island of Eleuthera
