C'mon Dan, keep your head up!!! It'll be OK. Are you under time pressure?Day ten, Rodeiro to Lalin. This is a delightful stage, mostly following small lanes through farming country. We had intermittent rain showers, but nothing too heavy. There were a few spots where the puddles completely covered the unpaved route, but it was easy to divert onto an adjacent field for a bit and then resume. There was a little bit of tricky marking toward the end. Someone has marked what must be another path with yellow arrows that are inconsistent with the camino markings (sometimes diverting, sometimes going the opposite direction). They are a paler and slightly chartreuse yellow compared to the camino's standard, and spray painted. You'll see them for a km or three: ignore them.
Frustrating and sad news. A bit more than halfway through today's stage, I did something (not sure what) to my foot. We'd stopped for a minute to take off rain jackets, and when we started again I was in pain with every step. I kept thinking it would work itself out, but it was not to be. I hobbled the remaining distance to Lalin. When I took off my shoes in the hotel, the foot was swelling up. I've iced and elevated, but so far no improvement. Unless some miracle occurs overnight, this is probably the end of this year's camino for us.
