Makro Gastro Fest 2

Last year was the first ever Gastro Fest in Prague.  We had such a good time last year, that we decided that we needed to go again this year.  I was wondering how they were going to do the event differently because last year there was the Bocuse d'or competition going on.  Every year this competition moves to a different country.  Instead of that HUGE competition, there were a lot more talks and a lot of cooking demonstrations.  There were so many more different stalls giving away free food this year.  It was great.  Big companies like KitKat and Starbucks were there and giving free stuff away.  The only thing besides our ticket that we paid for was Leos's beer.  Everything else was included with the entry ticket and we even got to bring some stuff home.  We didn't get to bring as much home as we did last year, but it was still a good amount of stuff.  I even got to meet Zdenek Pohlreich (the Gordon Ramsey of the Czech Republic) again this year and took a selfie with him. He already wore my glasses last year, so I didn't ask him to do it again.  Plus there were so many more people around him this year than when I was able to catch up with him last year.  I think that every year I go to this festival, I should take a photo with him, lol.

Beautiful Flowers

I met with a friend of mine and we went for a walk to see all the beautiful flowers.  Petrin was full of flowers.  There were lots of people in the area taking photos as well.  The colors were so beautiful.  Since it was such a hot day, we decided to go for a margarita at Manifesto Market.  We wanted to get an avocado margarita, but unfortunately they weren't offering it.  However, the tamarind margarita was refreshing and quite nice.  It was a nice Sunday.
