Dear steemit, thank you for dinner last night!

Last night I had a lovely dinner. Honestly, it was the most delicious Salmon I have ever had and at about $10.00 the price was right too!

While I didn't have any cash on me, I did have some steem dollars which I cashed out at the ATM and used to pay for my meal.

It was only possible, because recently we installed a new crypto currency ATM at the restaurant, which is also attached to the hotel and resort as you can see in the picture above.

This is an area where the next nearest ATM is a 30 minute drive and they don't take credit or debit cards. They're cash only, the ATM is a game changer for them. I'll be working with them to accept steem dollars directly and bring them to steemit in general, but until that's in place, the ATM is the next best thing.

I want to invite everyone to stop by La Fonda, grab a bite to eat, enjoy the sights and use your Steem Dollars to do it.
Their website is http://www.garyslafondabaja.com/ and they have a facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Garys-La-Fonda-Hotel-Northern-Baja-Mexico-202032952657
Here is a google map to get you there, https://goo.gl/maps/3xcBVFvaejJ2

As I was sitting there enjoying my meal I realized that I wanted to say thank you to anyone who's ever upvoted me, because your upvotes literally paid for that meal. I know we have a lot of discussions going on about the rewards etc, but I wanted to start a new tag #iusedsteem to show off the things we purchased either directly or indirectly with funds earned here. I'll be setting my voting bot to automatically upvote all posts with #iusedsteem at 100% and I'd like to encourage others to do so as well. I'd also like to encourage people to share posts with this tag on their other social media accounts. I mean seriously, how many people can say "I bought this dinner with money I earned from tweeting."?

By demonstrating that this currency has real uses and real users, we can show the world that this is very much a living, breathing economy, that everyone can benefit from and this will attract more users, and the more users we have, the more valuable the platform becomes. So thank you everyone and keep steeming!
