I had taken a bath the next day of my sickness, which forced me to remain in bed. After the contact with the fish, my clothes smelled awful, and I felt as if that stinking smell had soaked my skin.
It was one of the few times I enjoyed taking a bath so much. When I had finished, I put on clean clothes and threw the previous ones in a corner to wash them in the river.
After two days of washing clothes under the hot sun and rivers of sweat flowing my body, plus I was with my period, I felt doubly dirty, and I wanted to take another bath before we left this place.
I would leave my post, but it would be for a while. There was no one but us, so there was nobody that could steal them, and no wind was blowing to move them away.
The men, who had gone hunting and walked almost the entire area, said they had only seen small animals. No dangerous ones, so I wasn't afraid to go alone.
