Happy New Year from Skopje

New Years in Skopje was something I'd been looking forward to this year, as we had such a great time last year hanging out with friends and having dinner, games and then heading downtown to watch the fireworks. This year, however, I was in bed or huddled under a blanket most of the day thanks to dry cold air, asthma and a nasty cough.

That said, I did still bundle up in as many layers as possible to head down to the center with a friend because an ABBA tribute band named "Arrival" was slated to bring in the New Year. Come on, you know you'd be bundling up too for the chance to shiver to the beat of "Dancing Queen" and to see the night sky lit up by sparkly fireworks. ;) It was a fun night and we had a great time (though I am paying for it a bit with a cough that won't quit that is making my voice sound like that of a frog).

Here are some pics as well as a video... (gotta love the Santa drinking Coke just like the commercial). lol. Happy New Year to you from Skopje, Macedonia!!!!
