The World's Best New Year's Celebration?

January 2, 2006 at 4:14 PM | by markj | 0 Comments

A river of fire, burning of a Viking ship and a Catalonian wicker bull, and four straight days of partying--now that is ringing in the New Year.

About 100,000 revelers headed to Princes Street during the December 29 - January 1 (Ne'er Day) Hogmanay event in downtown Ediburgh.

Those up early enough after the New Year celebrations will be able to take part in the One O'Clock Run from Edinburgh Castle Esplanade or the Edinburgh Bicycle Triathlon at the Royal Commonwealth Pool and Holyrood Park.

Jesus, we wouldn't even be able to open our eyes, let alone run, after four straight days of downing drinks and torching wicker bulls.
