Pioneer Courthouse Square

It was well worth the 25 minute wait for brunch at Mother's. We are eating our way through the Northwest! On the way back to the hotel we scouted out Portland's World Cup viewing venue at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Bill ran to the car to get our chairs, and we sat comfortably in the middle of the action. The hot sun was so intense, it became unbearable for me at times. It felt as if the whole city of Portland was watching the final match on the giant TV screen. Jack slept soundly, through all the cheering and vuvuzelas, at the hotel just two blocks away. After Spain's victory over the Netherlands, Bill and I took Solo to the Columbia River Gorge, and the Multnomah Falls.
We couldn't find the off-leash dog section, but saw some pretty sights, nonetheless. The teenagers were feeling like Chinese food after their day of exploration. We reunited for another nice dinner, and took to our rooms for relaxation on our last night in Portland.
