Friesland in the New York Times

Friesland made it onto the New York times this week. The article in question starts with a historic photo of the 1917 race passing through Sneek. Further down there is a photo of the blue tiled bridge (which you can also see here). Unfortunately it the article was about global warming. The experts reckon we will be lucky to have an 11 cities skating tour once every 25 years, the way things are going.

Last year spring came a month late, and by the looks of things it looks like it has come a month early this year (thus a two month difference with last year). I saw lapwings in the last week or so but I have heard that butterflies have been spotted already as well. That is terrible because we can get frost here until the middle of May.
