My wife @silviabeneforti and I had already booked the hotel for Steemfest2 a couple of months ago. We'll stay in one of the hotels that offer a special discount for Steemfest, the Fenix Garden, from Oct 31 to Nov 5. We'll meet many friends we knew online during all these months in the Steem Community. @steevc will be there, for instance :)

Which of our followers are going to come to Lisbon?

I'm going to draw a live portrait for each one of them, in Lisbon (if they want to, of course)! :)

Today we booked the flight. Not so easy to find a low-cost flight from here to Lisbon: most of the routes aren't non stop, in those days. We found a flight from Pisa, non stop outward, layover in Barcelona on return. We'll stay 8 hours in Barcelona on our way back, and that's not bad: we have friends there, and I have also some artworks still in a art gallery in the Passeig de Gracia. :)

We have never been in Lisbon before, and we are looking forward to visit that amazing city!

We have not bought our minnow tickets for the Steemfest events though: We still don't know if we will have enough money for that too.

Some great steemians are managing tickets giveaways to help people to come. That's great, but we haven't great projects or dreams to propose to win those tickets. Some weeks of powering down should be enough anyway. We'll surely be in Lisbon in those days, even without tickets. :)
