"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?" Federico Calboli

Porumbeii
Palomas, palombe, palumbus..... a Romanian pigeon site. Because Romanian IS a Romance language.
Someone told me this was "Portuguese". I went to it and more or less understood a lot, having French and some Latin, Spanish, Italian. But it looked... weird. Then I saw the "ro" in the url....
The "Carunculat"-- the pigeon in the home page-- looks just like my Spanish Barbs. How old are the Mediterranean- Latin connections?
Perhaps Peculiar can tell us a bit about the language...

Amusingly, one of our roommates Freshman/Sophomore year was trying to learn the language. I believe he got no further than "Give me some sugar, baby."
Hi! I didn't check up on you in a week and had some serious reading to do! Just want to let you know that I wrote a review of "Falcon" by our favourite Pluvialis. It's on my second blog (there's a link in the sidebar) if you're interested.
