Students should consider the following when preparing.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes. The class will walk from 10:30 to 15:00

- Please take photos and video and share them. The aim of the class is to map Miami through reflection. This documentation will be useful for Ineffable Miami. The more photos the better.
