Thatch-Pickers

Well I arrived safely in Palenque and found myself an 8 dollar per night cabana in El Panchan, which is just outside the ruin gates. It seemed clean and reasonable when I checked in, but as I was relaxing and reading on the bed I noticed there seemed to be a few fruit-fly type creatures hopping around on the comforter. I choose to believe that this is what they are, because I have actually never seen bedbugs or fleas before, but I guess I will find out either tonight or in the morning. There was also some creature picking around in the thatch roof and I heard something munching on what sounded like a seed or nut just outside my door. I do not wish to investigate these noises any further and think a beer or two in combination with some ear plugs may assist me to sleep.
