Back at the Mockingbird for more free wi-fi. On the menu today: an iced latte and a fritatta with an unexpected -- but very welcome -- side of spinach salad. Must get the recipe for this dressing. Not that I would make it, of course, but someone else should.
I've learned the hard way that I don't sleep well without a good pillow. Which, of course, one doesn't usually bring along when one is sleeping in a tent. But I did manage to take a very restful nap yesterday. Unfortunately, I was lying on the beach at the time.
So today I am rather pink and highly annoyed at myself. I'm usually very careful about sunburn, and I didn't even hit the beach until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Sigh.
On a brighter note, I am happy to report that the tent, and my tent construction, passed the rain test with flying colors. And the sound of rain on a tent is actually very soothing once you're sure that there won't be any rain in the tent. Especially when you're using your comfy new "camping pillow."
Postscript: A reporter from NPR just came into the Mockingbird and is sitting at the table across the way from me talking to the manager. I'll post a link to the story when I find it.
