Love the photos, esp. the little trailer shot. Have been enjoying your commentary - witty and understated, just as I expected :)

Keep it up, you're friggin' animals!
Bonne chance,

Thanks for the note, we will load pics so long as technology lets it flow. I've pulled out most of my hair already trying to get pics on, oh well.

See you in June
