New Year’s Night – St. Sylvester’s Day
New Year’s Eve is called “Sylvester, and is becoming more popular as a time to go out to dinner, have a party, and generally to relax and bring in the New Year. At this writing we are about three hours before the start of the New Year, but restaurants are full and many Israelis are celebrating. We will throw ourselves a party in about an hour, and then it’s off for another full day of touring tomorrow.
