Wynwood Walls
On my way to my car I stumbled upon the Wynwood Walls where the murals were lighted up and all types of artwork from Graffiti to contemporary art was showcased. I am always amazed at these gigantic walls and the different types of artistic talent everytime I come here.

All in all, on this day, Wynwood was fun to be in and a taste of what was to come.
