Happy weekend, Steemians!
I'm continuing with the many, many Steemfest posts that I warned you would be coming, haha. Today I wanted to do a little more of a story telling one about the Saturday in Lisbon during Steemfest².
So the day began with @noboxes and I both managing to sleep through the hotel's breakfast. Neither of have a huge appetite in the morning so we weren't too concerned about that, but....... no coffee???? 😢 We left our hotel as soon as we were ready and headed to the LX Factory in Lisbon (future post coming just on this place because it's amazing!). We were going to see the Art at Steemfest and a photography workshop, but because of our late start, and because it's pretty hard to find things at this place, we missed the art workshop done by @opheliafu which I was very sad about. Luckily we were in time to see the photography workshop and go on the following photography walk with a whole group of Steemians. I saw @cryptofunk, @anahilarski and @hilarski and lots of other friends in the studio. [Oh, and I managed to find a little coffee shop there but the Americano coffees I ordered turned out to be far to European in size. I don't know if you guys know this about me but I take my coffee pretty seriously. ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ☕️]
This is where the day got comical because our group guide seemed to quickly get ahead of us and about half the group dropped off and started looking around trying to find anyone they knew through the crowd. Another few minutes passed and the group that was left still together was very small.
That's when @noisy made the suggestion to form our own little group and do some photography walking around the city. Of course, I forgot my SD card for my camera so I was so disappointed but then @damnthatbanana very kindly offered to lend me his and I am still very grateful. We eventually got seperated from him as well so the final group was @noboxes, me, @roxane, @oroger, @noisy, @lenka, @virtualgrowth, and @daniel.errey. Not to be biased but I'd recommend following all of them because they are all great Steemians.
We had a great time getting to know each other and talking about all things Steem and crypto. By the time we made our way back to the starting point at the LX Factory we were all famished and very ready for a meal so we headed to the Burger Factory restaurant. When we got to the restaurant another Steemian (sorry, I didn't get his username.) joined us and he didn't have any euros to buy food so @virtualgrowth offered to barter. We all got great enjoyment in seeing a real life Steem transaction between friends and what an awesome example to use later, right?
Of course then I photographed everyone's food for you guys and we all ended the day with a great story about an unlikely mix of people. We explored back streets, passed some girl scouts, and just made a lot of good memories in a short period of time.
Next I think I'll share some of the photos from Lisbon's shopping area at night, so look out for that one. Have an awesome day, my friends!
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these 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

Haha, it is a very good copycat bridge isn't it @brianphobos.
oh wow looks like this years Steemfest was really amazing :)
I definitely have to visit the next one ;)
you must @reconnectnature
Desearía tener la posibilidad de ir algún día. Debe ser una experiencia maravillosa.
gracias por tus commentairos @mendezand
That looks like a great time, and you even found some good food to take photos of! Nice :)
My experience in Lisbon wasn't so great but, to be fair, it was only the airport!
I didn't find the airport to be reflective of the city. Or to say another way, yeah, the airport was disappointing
I have to make a guilty confession: I've never actually taken the time to fully appreciate your photography skills in your other posts.
But after observing the way you scout for the perfect shot, how you set up your photos, and then finally see the results of it. I must say you are indeed very talented in photography!
Thank you for leaving these beautiful pictures for all all to see.
It's great to experience Steemfest from yet another perspective.
Wow, fantastic commenting. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me how you appreciate my photography. This is great encouragement, thanks again!
nice pictures.

You are wlcme
You are awesome @gringalicious and a very talented photographer!!!
Greetings from the cold Berlin! :-)
Thanks so much @future24. I will have to go to Berlin sometime soon
Was great to meet you @gringalicious! May have to use your picture of laptop user in a "proof of concept" post where I accepted steem for some Euroes so he had some funds delivered to him right at the table. This example led to me helping some others as well. Keep sharing your beauty and Steem on!
Use any photo you need @virtualgrowth. Absolute pleasure meeting you as well!! That was so cool to witness that transaction live.
The transaction was with @shla-rafia by the way. :)
I love my country... Portugal
You had all this time to explore the city .... Very nice :)
Wasn't it a blast?!
Lovely photos. Very informative. Excellent post.
Thanks so much @nilpan. I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my post
What a talent @gringalicious... I am going to take some pictures for my own article if you agree (with the credit to you for sure :-)). I still haven't really talked about Steemfest yet... Really need to do it !
You are always free to use my photos. Of course, credit would be nice. Anything I can provided to add to your creativity, it is yours.
Great pics. Looks like it was a blast!
