With apologies for my butchery of Latin!

That's a marvelous photo story with beautiful pictures of the Oregon Coast, Martin!
-
Welcome Romans, to the US of A, you too Martin! Great pictures of some beautiful scenery :wow:!
BTW, are there any foot notes with English translations available for the story lines ????
-
Great story and photos, Martin, but (like Bill) footnotes would be helpful to get the most from the story.
-
OK Bill and Gordon, I relented and added the original English.
Now Gus can tell me that that wasn't what I wrote! My Latin studies stopped around age 16, and I got these words using an online translator, so the grammer is non-existant! There also appear to be several Latin words for the same thing (e.g. Sandals), so I just picked the ones I thought sounded best.
These three guys went with me everywhere in Oregon and California the last 3 weeks, so I'm keeping them apart from the mass of troops to retain their personalities. Most of the shots were taken on a beach near the Devil's Punch Bowl, but the whipping wind and the presence of a dead sealion limited my time there. The mountain shot was taken at the top of the "Trees of Mystery" Skytrain ride, and the last two were on the waterfront in Eureka.

That was great! :lol: Please continue to chronicle the trio's journey!
-
Excellent trip pictures, & story Martin :clap:! Now that I can understand what was written, the humor is spot on :)9! BTW, Martin, thank you for the translation, but did you originally think everyone understood latin :hmm:?
-
No, but I thought everyone could Google!

No, but I thought everyone could Google!
Takes too long :eh?:! Besides, I thought this was an English speaking forum only ???!

Great pictures Martin! Glad to see you recovered so quickly from your journey.

(I hope your actual Latin isn't like that! .. :hmm: )
Wonderful idea, and story, though. And very funny! .. ;D
And very beautiful pictures, as usual, Martin! :yup:
Thanks, it's lovely :love:

Oh, blast! ... :lol:

ok, lets go:
sandals (of a soldier) = caliga, -ae, plural caligae, -árum
foot = pes, pedis, plural pedes, pedum ::)
However, most of the fun in the story is in the wrong Latin ;) ;D
(which is one of the reasons I'm going to avoid going into the verbal tenses, right now ... 8}
:lol: )
