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

[gringalicious]

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
