Hope you all have a nice New Year's Eve and a 2008 filled with good health and happiness!
We have no big celebration plans for tonight. There is a fireworks display on the river in Cologne that we considered joining, but now it's cold and raining and we are both leaning heavily towards staying home where it's warm and cozy. Maybe we'll find a good German Dick Clark equivalent on the telly.
Here's a bit of local trivia: Germans call New Year's Eve "Silvester," because December 31 is St. Sylvester's Day. And the largest celebration in Europe is held in Berlin, where more than 1 million people gather to watch fireworks over the Brandenburg Gate. Amazingly, Berlin is over five hours away from Bonn. If we left now we just might make it!
