| The Beans with the New Year's Eve Ball |
Last night, The Beans went to Times Square to celebrate the New Year. It was an incredible experience sharing this special moment with hundreds of New Yorkers and visitors like them.
During the afternoon, they had visited the famous ball and they had seen how the technicians prepared all the elements to reach an exceptional event, perhaps, one of the most celebrated around the world during this New Year's Eve. Cristina Bean had expressed her illusion about this event to the Grandma and The Beans decided to got to this unforgettable event.

The Grandma is a great admirer of the United Nations since she had the chance of seeing Pau Casals playing one of his last compositions, El Cant dels Ocells (Song of the Birds), which became in the Hymn of the United Nations.
He conducted its first performance in a special concert at the United Nations on October 24, 1971, two months before his 95th birthday. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant, awarded Pau Casals the U.N. Peace Medal in recognition of his stance for peace, justice and freedom.

The UN Charter was drafted at a conference between April–June 1945 in San Francisco, and was signed on 26 June 1945 at the conclusion of the conference; this charter took effect 24 October 1945, and the UN began operation. The UN's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies.
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbours,
and let every new year find you a better man.
Benjamin Franklin
