I slept really well last night. The temperature dropped into the low 60s overnight.

I drink my strong, hot coffee outside. Yesterday, I insisted on drinking my coffee in the tent to avoid the flies. However, it's so hot this morning that I am willing to tolerate the flies in exchange for the privilege of being outside the tent.

Yes, I'm wearing my sweatband because I'm sweating.
