    Latin forms of James

    Thank you for that, I've resigned myself to having been mislabeled!
  2. Jim B

    Latin forms of James

    Thank you and yes, that's certainly been the general consensus.

    Latin forms of James

    Thanks, I can only aspire to becoming Iacobum or Iacobus when I can get back to Santiago with that dodgy Compostela!

    Latin forms of James

    Thank you, looks like I was just unlucky!

    Latin forms of James

    On the plus side, it gives me an excuse to wander back to Santiago to have it changed.

    Latin forms of James

    I was fairly certain that it was, just checking that there wasn't a Latin loophole of which I was unaware. You make a good point that she may not have associated James with Santiago, I hadn't thought of that.

    Latin forms of James

    Yes, that's certainly a possibility.

    Latin forms of James

    My name is James, so I expected Iacobus or Iacobum on my Compostela - but the Pilgrim's Office translated my name to Ignatium. I only noticed when I got home. Occasionally, I think that next time I'm in Santiago I'll call in and see if I can get that changed, but maybe there's something that I'm...

    Experiences of ghosts, premonitions or presences?

    I had a peculiar experience while staying at the Monasterio Santa Clara at Carrion de los Condes. My companions and I shared a 5-bed dorm on the ground floor. I had a very vivid and emotional dream in which I had to hunt and capture or restrain one of our party, and in the dream I was doing so...

    Coastal or central route?

    Yes, we re-named them hobblestones!

    Importance of First Night's Stay

    I flew to Biarritz from London in 2013, with no expectations of walking with anyone really. Boarding the plane at Gatwick, I noticed a few other passengers with backpacks and boots and we all acknowledged each other and Identified that we were walking the Camino. We all met up again at the bus...

    LIVE from the Camino 20 year old Pilgrim FOUND safe and sound

    It was clearly mentioned that she had a phone and shared a phone plan with her father.

    LIVE from the Camino 20 year old Pilgrim FOUND safe and sound

    I think you confuse "missing" with "lost". To her mum, she was missing until accounted for but I suspect that you understand that really. As a father, I can entirely identify with her plight.

    LIVE from the Camino 20 year old Pilgrim FOUND safe and sound

    I've suggested to my wife, that she ever considers me to have gone missing on a Camino trip, that she posts here and asks if anyone has seen me. I hope the day never comes, but if it does, I dearly hope that anybody who thinks they might have encountered me will give her news rather than sit...

    LIVE from the Camino 20 year old Pilgrim FOUND safe and sound

    I was surprised at American Pilgrims on the Camino's response to the message that she was missing being forwarded to their website from CAMIGAS, the buddy system for women on the Camino. They responded with: "Please contact the local authorities rather than posting here. Although we would all...

    Have you seen this "Hoverglide" backpack?

    It puts me in mind of the REI Zipall:

    Your most embarrassing moment (or potentially embarrassing)

    At the albergue in St. Domingo de la Calzada, just as everyone was reading or dozing in the last minutes before lights out, I decided I could just make a last visit to the loo and be back in bed before darkness. Making my way back to the (1st floor) dorm, I was trailing my hand along the waist...
