Steemfest is over and you probably are over all Steemfest posts by now and I am also behind with my content, but there is no way I could not share this with you. Better late than never! So here is the last day of Steemfest.. but I have some more footage from Lisbon of course, since we stayed a few days longer. 

I simply want to thank everyone who was part of this memorable experience!

Finding the location

It was quite a journey for Hive account@soldier and I to find our way through the jungle because it was quite dark already..

But turns out it was worth it! On the other side Steemians were already chatting and we were welcomed very nicely.

Made it! 

The Venue

Big ups to Hive account@roelandp for another successful Steemfest! You outdid yourself with this stunning location. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for Steemfest 3 (I'm voting for beach and sun!).. Oh and let's not forget the APPICS event (please consider yourself as part of the team already).. 

MEETING LEGENDARY STEEMIANS

Hive account@sneak (Steemit's CTO) Hive account@mrs.steemit Hive account@jerrybanfield (most active user? & comedian)

A special THANK YOU! to Hive account@virtualgrowth who was so kind to give me a REAL Steem coin. 

Notice the necklace I am wearing? Well.. this is  magical story. Hive account@everlove is the warmest soul you will ever meet, she is full of love, wisdom, generosity and magic! Initially she was wearing this beautiful necklace with blue flower stones and when I walked to the bathroom I had to look twice, because I recognized the necklace like it as yesterday. When I was a child my mother gave a necklace that looked identical to the one Hive account@everlove was wearing. When I saw it on her I was a little shocked, so I came closer just to have a look, when she took off the necklace and wanted to give it to me. I said thought how could that be? I couldn't accept such gift, but then she said "it belongs to you, I am here to give it to you" with such conviction that I let her put it on me. That moment just confirmed what I had been feeling ever since I met Hive account@everlove and the lovely Hive account@saramiller at Steemfest 1 in Amsterdam. They are in line with nature, trust the flow of life, are full of love and by that bring miracles to the lives of others. I am beyond grateful to have met them! 

And of course it was a please meeting Hive account@quinneaker finally. He is an incredible human who has devoted his life to a greater good and it is heart warming to experience the relationship between him Hive account@gardenofeden.

Posing with Hive account@soldier before dinner...

Finally time for dinner! 

You might have already seen what was for dinner on other Steemfest post, but not the vegetarian option ^^.. which was delicious! 

Almost as good as the desert.. almost. 

I had the pleasure to sit with @sterlinluxan and it was a surprise how much we have in common, similar thoughts and visions. Let's speak soon and get to work!

And of course the lovely little bitcoin lady who stayed by my side this whole time and got the "mom" out of me. She is smart and well-spoken beyond her age, thanks to the parenting skills of her Steemians dad (please tag him if you know his username) who decided to give her proper education, by traveling through the world and learning by doing. During dinner she wanted to sit next to me and so of course I felt some kind of responsibility to watch her. All of a sudden she wasn't sitting at the table any longer and when I stood up I could see that she wasn't with her father either. So I walked to her dad and asked where she was. I was already getting nervous, but he reacted very calm and said that she always comes back.  After a few minutes, she walks in and just says "I went outside for fresh air". I was relieved and amazed at the same time. She is more responsible than most adults that I know ^^.. 

The final speeches from Hive account@roelandp & Hive account@ned got everyone hyped!

After dinner and a couple of drinks the dance floor and music was too welcoming, not to dance. 

As you might know from previous posts of mine Hive account@soldier and I have been dancing together for years and learned to dance from Hive account@sirwinchester who's a choreographer next to everything else he does. When we started dancing with Hive account@vanylou we were joined by unexpected Steemians with moves.. 

DANCING WITH Hive account@firepower and Hive account@kevinwong

What an amazing experience meeting so many great people and of course attending Steemfest together with the Hive account@appics team..

This is by far the most amazing conference! If you didn't make it this year, make sure to be there next time. 

See you all again next year!

Let's make STEEMFEST 3 even bigger and better!
