Vacation ended Camino begins

Sam and I are sitting at a cafe outside our small hotel in Ourense. We are having our first real cafe con letche. The only time I ever drink coffee is on the Camino. Madrid doesn't do this marvelous treat justice. I can't tell you the number of kms and hills the thought of a cup of this nectar has gotten me through.

Tomorrow is our transition day. Touring Madrid felt like a vacation, tour buses and museum visits and dinner outside at 10 pm

in one of beautiful plazas.
I've fallen in love with the city and hope to return to see more.
We slept in this morning and took the 5 hour train ride to Ourense where we start our walk to Santiago.
I must say I'm a little nervous. I've dreamed of returning to Spain since we had to abort our first trip in the fall of 2013. Now as I get ready to walk my pack feels too heavy, my knees feel a bit wobbly and our first day is 12 miles the beginning of which is the steepest climb. I'm trying to stay in the moment and not berate myself for not training enough, not losing enough weight.
Sam is great and reminds me we have all day with nothing else to do and plenty of places to stop to have some cafe con letche.
If he feels so positive after all he's been through then I just need to chill. We don't start till Tuesday so one more day to buck up. Tonight we'll meet up it our friend Elaine from England. We met her during our training to become volunteers on the Camino and clicked right away. Tomorrow we tour Ourense and then we're off bright and early Tuesday. All positive thoughts appreciated.a
