Sami, Sara & Isil at Portland City Grill
Saturday night we went out with Isil, Aaron and Akiko for Isil's birthday. The first stop of the evening was at Portland City Grill.
The restaurant/bar is up on the 30th floor of the Unico US Bank Tower and the views are amazing. Unfortunately it was very crowded and we couldn't get a table near the window. In addition to the great view, there is a very fancy and fairly cheap happy hour menu.
All of us with the "fishbowl" drink at GypsyOur second stop of the night was at Gypsy to have one of these crazy giant drinks... definitely the first time I've tried one of those. I also had the macaroni, which was excellent.
The decor in the other half of the bar was shockingly red and yellow and very mid century.

Akiko at Aztec WilliesOur third and final stop of the evening was at Aztec Willies taqueria for Salsa night.
Actually Salsa was extremely popular when we lived in Illinois. I was told the week we moved there that if Sami was an engineer, there was no doubt that we would learn to Salsa while we were there. Somehow it never happened.

Isil and her brother IlkerIsil's brother joined us after a while. He was a very good dancer too, and he and Isil impressed everyone around us.
And another picture of Sami and I (and some random people in the background)It's not often that someone takes a picture of us together - I figured I'd better post it.

Looks like a fun party!
And you have lost weight!? You look very nice:)
It was fun, and I have lost a little weight in the last few months... of course that pretty much puts me at the size I was when I last saw you.
Nice pictures (I'm looking very pale and punchy...ugh )
You guys look like you're having a good time.
No worries, a little hiking in FP will solve both those problems.
Well.. let's go then
Hey, you are looking good in these photos. Is your hair red these days? It looks nice.
It's a bit reddish, more golden. A couple weeks ago I got bored and tried to dye it dark blond, but it only lightened halfway.
