Good photos. That fellow really has it all down on a note doesn't he? He obviously spent a lot of time and money getting that rig just right.

Always on the lookout for a holiday, if there is a public holiday on a Thursday or a Tuesday the French make a 'Bridge' (Faire un pont) and take the Friday or the Monday off as well.
