When the initial lockdowns occurred in March 2020, I was in the middle of a big case and came to Florida thinking I would be there for a week or so. I ended up spending 10 weeks. The weather was fantastic, but this was during the first pandemic period and it was screwed up. They shut the beaches - duh, everyone knows that being inside is where the virus gonna virus - but oh well, it was what it was. Anyway, after a number of weeks hanging out, we took a drive down to Miami's Wynwood section to check out the Wynwood Walls. The Walls is basically an outdoor museum. It's super cool because they have invited a number of big-time artists to come and paint big murals on the buildings in this section of town. The Walls goes on for block after block, and covers buildings all over the area. And because we were there during the lockdowns, there was basically no one around. I simply stopped the car in the middle of the road and got out and took pictures. We saw a group of about 10 people on bikes doing crazy wheelies and things, and we shouted out to them (and vice-versa), but other than that, it was just us and the regulars who live on the street. Anyway, here are some pretty cool photos of the place - check it out if you're in the Miami area. After we left Wynwood, we drove over to Brickell, through downtown, across the Rickenbacker and up Ocean Drive in South Beach. It was a Sunday around noon. Ocean Drive was EMPTY. I've never seen it like that before, and I hope to never see it like that again. Let's hope that we're well beyond any more of these crazy lockdowns. In the Free State of Florida, we've moved on and are back to living! I hope you enjoyed - I had more but was worried about over-saturation. I'll be back. Will you?
