TBEX Opening Party – An Affair to Remember

When we got the news that the TBEX Opening Party would be a Beach Party, we were all super excited. The party was to be held at the beautiful Santa Cristina Beach and we had 3 different transportation options as our arrival to the party:

• Scenic longer boat ride along the coastline

• Direct boat ride to the beach (15 min)

• Arrival by bus for those arriving later

Of course I picked the earliest 6:30pm departure by boat that opted for a longer scenic coastal route to the party.

The Stunning Location on Hotel Santa Marta grounds

First we were serenaded by beautiful poolside live music

Soon after the announcement was heard about the Tomato & Bread demonstration

While the 2nd boat ride was making its way toward the beach…

It was time for some Cheese & Wine onshore

My happy plate filled with different local Cheeses. I also enjoyed some local white wine with this too

Time to taste some grilled seafood

Me, happily working away 🙂

These anchovies were the best appetizer for me. I probably had 3 of these 🙂

Everyone gathered around to watch the castellers form Castell – a Human Tower

The TBEX Opening Party was a spectacular event! I kept telling my fellow new TBEX friends that I felt like we were crashing a fab wedding 🙂
