Steemfest Day 1 (Gringa Steemfest Travel Series: pt.4)

in steemfest •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey Guys!

I know I've been a little back and forth with travel photos recently but tonight I'm finally sharing the photos from day #1 here at Steemfest! There were so many I wanted to share but I tried to narrow it down to a reasonable number to go with some of the details about the first day.

So after getting to meet everyone at check-in the day before we began the next day with breakfast at the hotel and then the Steemians gathered to board the wonderful Steemfest dedicated buses to take us to the venue of the day. We arrived there and were all, I think, surprised at how beautiful it was. The area is another place that is just rich in history and there is some great architecture around to see.

Ater meeting excited to hear the presentations and they didn't disappoint. I enjoyed hearing everything that was said. I so appreciate everyone who organized it and spoke, they all did great, @ned, @roelandp, @mrssteemit, @surfermarly, and so many more!

I was a little sad to find out there would be simultaneous presentations in 2 different rooms making it impossible to see them all but I'm glad we were able to be in so many. Oh, and as the food blogger I can't forget to mention the snacks served at all times during the day and then the light little lunch!

After that and a few more hours of presentations we all went out to the terrace for drinks, followed by a lovely (and very impressively set) dinner party.

I wish you could have ALL been there but there's always next year and I'm just so happy I can at least share a piece of the experience through photos! Cheers, my friends!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21

hi Gringalicious, glad to meet you in Lisbon! :)

Wasn't it so much fun @paolobeneforti?!

They really treated us well. The organisation was amazing. Great to meet you

Yes, you are so correct, we were treated so well. Just amazing organization of all the events. @roelandp and the @firepower team were phenomenal. I cannot wait until next year.

By the way, I was in the back of the bus and go to hear you playing and singing.

I wasn't sure what people on the bus made of it. Hope it wasn't too bad :)

My Dad and I enjoyed it and I for one would like to encourage you to keep making music!

Try stopping me! ;)

Cool! I dream to go the next time! Thank you for sharing, friend @gringalicious!

I hope it is possible for you next year @olga.maslievich

Succes for you at steemit...

Oh man. Making me Jealous. I almost pulled the trigger to go and I'm now kind of regretting it, after befriending you, Kevin Wong, Luke stokes, @sweetsssj, @luczypher (who I hung out with twice in Mexico) and others I would have really had a great time. I can't wait to learn when the next one is. I'm gonna have to plan my long term travels around it. Great job documenting the event. Your photos are grade A like usual. So I published my 500 follower milestone post, and made sure to give you a great mention of appreciation. Hope you find the time to check it out. Are you back in Ohio? Safe travels. -Dan

hey Dan, not Ohio, Idaho. And yes, I returned yesterday. I did see your post, thanks so much for the mention.

Yes, you must attend next year, it was amazing. Only being there in person can one understand the energy, words do not come close enough to fully express it.

Oooops that's what I meant Idaho! lol Sorry about that. I can hopefully get away with it, I wake some mornings and don't even know what country I'm in lol! Regarding steemfest I can only imagine, literally. Hope I can make the next one! With all the messages on your post. I'm impressed with how you manage your time. No need to reply to this one again. Have a great day! -Dan

I forget, have you been to North Idaho? If so, you can understand why I would jump on that correction. No offense to anyone who lives in Ohio, but why? - LOL

How did I miss a message from Gringalicious! Two in fact. My bad. No I've never been to either place. But I hear North Idaho is a great place to enjoy a peaceful life, where having a home with a nice piece of land surrounded by nature is common. Sounds good to me. Is that your current set up?

nice

Thanks @sadiaislam

Wow this is incredible! I would also like to go to Stemfest
but unfortunately I do not have the opportunity, maybe it will be next year

I hope to see you there next year @daio. Remind me, where are located? Thanks so much for commenting
