But before we dive in, I’ve been enjoying some downtime in Florida, spending a few days with family and friends. In the coming days, I’m planning to check out some galleries, including [Wynwood Walls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynwood_Art_District), [Vertu Fine Art](https://digital.vertufineart.com/), and [Pérez Art Museum Miami](https://www.cntraveler.com/activities/miami/pamm).
