Parades, soccer, and proposals, oh my!

Today was an interesting day, that started with half of us knowing when we were planning to leave for the day, and the other half being confused. After everything was sorted out, we made our way to the Rose Parade in Portland. That was a fun time and we watched until 11, then those of us who have our priorities straight made our way to the Widmer brewery to watch the USA vs. England soccer match. Eventually everyone met up and we enjoyed the rest of the game. Afterward we made our way to down town Portland and checked out this very large book store where we wondered for a bit. During this excursion, Jessie split from the group to get an iced coffee. During her purchase, she walked into this random guy, who out of no where, proposed to marry her! Fortunately for Kurtz, she declined. After this little shocker, we made our way to the train station and took the train back to White Salmon. The plan for tomorrow is to learn how to wind surf, which should be fun.
