End of a visit

Last night we went to the Loring Pasta Bar with Robyn and Dejan. I think Dejan was a little skeptical, but I also think he had a good time.


Lucky for us it was tango night. There was a live band playing and some very interesting people there to dance the night away (this picture doesn't do it justice...by the end of the night the dance floor was FULL of people).


It reminded me a bit of a junior high dance with dancers sitting all around the periphery and guys shyly approaching women to ask if they wanted to dance.


Not very many of them danced with the same partner twice. Most of the dancers were wearing...interesting outfits. We never could figure out what was going on - whether it was some sort of singles event or an assignment for people taking dance classes or just a gathering of folks who like to dance. It provided some good entertainment for us, though, so that was good.


When we started to tire of watching the dancers Kristin provided some entertainment of her own - napkin art!


After dinner we headed to a much quieter Kafe 421 for some dessert. Along the way we saw some Mormon missionaries...not sure what they were doing out on a Sunday night, but we snapped a picture for posterity.


Dejan ordered 3 desserts for us to share, and they were fantastic!























We were all pretty tired so we headed back to Saint Paul to drop them off at their hotel. Along the way we made a quick stop at CVS to pick up some supplies for Robyn's horribly sunburned/blistered knees.

Today they came downtown to have lunch with me and see my office. I think they liked the place :) I was going to take them to The Loon for lunch (they weren't up for Luce or Brenda's), but Dejan didn't want to walk 3 blocks in the hot sun so we ended up lunching at The Ugly Mug. I hadn't eaten there since it changed from being Harvey's. It wasn't the best food, but the people watching (waitress watching, really) proved to be a fun pasttime, so we were okay with it.

After that it was a sad goodbye and they were off to Chicago.

The visit was way too short, but we had a great time getting caught up with them. We both wish they would move closer to us, but we'll take what we can get in the form of visits!
