We barely avoided a disaster early this morning. A meteor fell within fifty yards of the cave and started a fire. We were lucky. The wind was blowing away from the cave and not towards it. We stopped the fire before it climbed any of the bigger trees. Fires are everywhere. The air smells like smoke.
I think… We will be fine as long as the wind doesn’t change directions. I hate this cave. It is dirty and smells. There is bat poop everywhere. I have never seen so many bugs in one place. I tried to clean a place for Tony and I to sleep, but the bugs keep invading our space.
I had a horrible time trying to sleep last night. I woke up several times with bugs crawling all over my face. I don’t even want to think about the ones that were crawling over the other parts of me. I think the worst of the meteor shower is over. I haven’t heard anything big hit the ground in hours.
An occasional meteor can be seen crossing the sky. They are getting smaller. Zu and Palisa are not ready to let us go back to the village. I understand their concern, but I hate these bugs. Madie
