Steemfest Day 2 - Gringa Steemfest Travel Series: pt.6

in #steemfest7 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone! So, I did already warn you I have lots more pictures to share so today I'm sharing some from the second day at steemfest

Day 2 involved some great presentations. Just like the first day however, it was split up so that you had to choose between room 1 and room 2 so unfortunately I couldn't see them all but I really enjoyed the ones I did.

Oh, and the venue, WOW!

The first talk I sat in was @quinneaker and he talked about his vision for the future and how great it was to be at Steemfest.

I also got to meet some new friends and there are so many but there just wasn't the opportunity to get photos with everyone, but you guys know who you are. I finally met @heiditravels!

I also got to meet @rea

and @luzcypher

and @joythewanderer

@silviabeneforti and @paolobeneforti

After lunch we all gathered for a group photo on the most gorgeous balcony where @timsaid (If you aren't already following him you should be. His photography is insane!) played with his drone and got some incredible footage and stills.

Haha, and @karensuestudios must have been feeling on top of the world as she stoon on @acromott shoulders.

Oh, and I am so excited about the Hardfork series and the presentation by @dougkarr, @andrarchy, and @ericvancewalton was brilliant. If you aren't following them or you haven't seen the trailer you need to go do both.

Also, I just loved listening to my close friend @allasyummyfood give a wonderful (and so personal and raw) presentation on her journey to where she. Guys, this girl has worked her butt off to get where she is and I must say I admire her so much for that. If you aren't following her yet, you need to be! Oh, and spoiler alert ->>> we might be planning a collaboration! I got to spend some quality time with her and her boyfriend @ivargereiko

The @sndbox project is something I'm really excited about too! @voronoi and @hansikhouse pretty much blew my mind with their creativity and passion for their work and @terrybrock was a great mc.

I also enjoyed hearing what @wmougayar talked about. Then finally the fireside chat with @ned ( interviewed by @andrewmcmillen )had everyone interested and after that @sneak and @blocktrades announced the hackathon winners and I was so excited to see my friends (who I somehow didn't get a picture of, ooops ) @oroger and @martibis were the winners and @phenom a runner up.

The food this day was also delicious. lunch was an array of soup, sandwiches, pasta, and a traditional Portuguese dish with fish and potatoes. Then some yummy sweets to finish!



And finally, dinner was another spread of fancy fair served with beautiful presentation. I think it was split pea soup, followed by a delicious duck and mashed yam combo that had a hint of citrus. Can we all agree that @roelandp really outdid himself with the planning??? Of course, then you have to have a sweet to finish and they served a keylime cheesecake that was so lovely I just sat (and stood) photographing it!



Then it was time to ride the buses back to the hotel to try and catch a few hours of sleep before the next day (which I'll be sharing next!)

I didn't know that this was your first day at SteemFest, then that explains why I didn't run into you until the last day.

Anyways, it was great meeting you! Perhaps I'll need to post a compilation of my dofferent food photos to get your professional review😊. Hope you had a safe trip home and that we get to see eachother again at SteemFest3!
