[QUOTE="Lydia Gillen, post: 97660, member: 9941"] Hi Paddy, You are a kind and thoughtful young man. May the good lord bless you for your kindness. I am very sorry to hear about your shoulder and my advice would be to take very good care of it. The injuries of our youth which we brush off so quickly can come and haunt us 30 or 40 years later. So do get to a good physiotherapist and keep doing the exercises until you are really better. The Camino will be there for you. Twice I have had to come home because of injury. We are lucky to be living in Ireland where we can come back and forth from the Camino relatively cheaply. Now let us all look at what is happening. Some female with a lovely smile is managing to get young gallant men to carry her rucksack as well as her own. It would appear that she is not even offering to carry their lighter one. As I sat in Orisson I on May 8th saw an elegant older women exit the dinning room with a big smile accompanied by a young man who was carrying two rucksacks. She strode on walking upright, he was bent under the weight. I was speechless as were all the others around. I said nothing, though I think if I had met them on my own on the way I would have said something. We are all hesitant to come forward or speak out when there are many others present. I later heard the lad had carried it all the way to Roncesvalles. I wonder where he is now.!!! Is this the same lady who is still getting young men to carry her rucksack? or is it someone else. Several others have suggested that she could get her ruck sent on by taxi, or empty unnecessary things etc. This lady seems to have great charm and to be using her feminine wiles to get young men to carry her bag. Often in life I have witnessed what I describe as "acquired incompetence". "Oh I could not possibly sew on a button, change a plug, dig a garden, but you are so clever, so strong etc. etc." all accompanied by fluttering eyelashes. Is this what is happening here? May I suggest that if anyone sees young man carrying two rucksacks that they take them aside and talk to them and tell them what people are saying on this forum.She will make it to Santiago ok. but is she is leaving a trail of destruction behind her? I guess she is nearing Galicia now. Maybe I am the one now being crabby because I never mastered the art of fluttering the eyelashes and now it is too late. [/QUOTE]
