Steemfest2 begins in exactly 1 month!!
In the past weeks I've been on a mission to engage with the Steemit Community with a specific short-term goal: getting two tickets for Steemfest2. I entered a contest from @blueorgy to win an entry, but hey, with so many amazing contestants in there, who have contributed so much to Steemit already, I felt like if I would be winning that one, it'd be an insult to those who deserved far more to win.
So I didn't win. But, the effort didn't go unnoticed, the upvotes on my posts and comments got a significant boost from several dolphins and whales. It's like they were saying, ok kid, what you're doing isn't yet on the quality level we would like, but keep trying, we appreciate your efforts..
So I kept trying and kept going at it. With some success on some days, and on other days not so much. Since Steemfest is already here in 1 month, I needed to make some decisions about it. First, of course, I read the latest update from @roelandp, who wrote his latest blog from the Island of Crete in Greece.
Time to think it over. We jumped in the car for a two hour drive and went for a walk on the beach at Kijkduin:
It was kinda rainy and windy for a little while, so we found some shelter in one of the beach bars. Where I tried out some filters on my smart phone. Looks cosy, right?
After that, the weather cleared and we took a nice long walk, talking about life, kids, work and Steemfest. At some point we came across this monument in the dunes:
It reads (freely translated):
return to the Silent Beach
where only the things that truly matter remain
the waves of the sea roll through the dunes
the surf through its crowns
you find the place
to love
Well, I don't think it could be any clearer. Steemfest here we come!!
Clear your mind with powerful sea :)
The place is so calming and relaxing...
It certainly is!
just keep Smiling and Keep Sharing Love !❤️
Relaxing nothing better
What a lovely post! This beach bar really looks super cozy.
Hoping to meet you guys in Lisbon though!
Upvoted, resteemed and followed - these are my 100% :-)
Nothing like negative ions to clear your mind & calm your soul ^_^
That looks so relaxing. Like a place to escape and write a novel while meditating.
just keep Smiling and Keep Sharing Love !❤️
Looks to be such a great and peaceful place to be.
Where there is love there is life.

The monument is perfect.
I need the ocean. It balances me. All buddies of water do, but my heart is in the ocean <3
I truly wish I could go to Steemfest! Good luck, and enjoy- you deserve it :)
Be sure to give us a full report ;)
Oh well...
Now that I'm on Steemit as well, I see that you've been using pictures of me all this time.
You owe me babe!
I'm taking you to Portugal in a few weeks, how bout that?
