ants

OK, so one minor complaint I have here in the pousada (hostel/hotel) I'm staying in in Salvador is that there are hundreds of very small (smaller than anywhere in the US that I've seen) ants everywhere. You can't really see them unless you're looking at something white and/or glassy like the sink, but when you sleep you can feel them crawling on your feet, etc. The first few times this happened I brushed them off but then after the third one or so I was kind of just like "the hell with it" and let them crawl around, which seems harmless for the moment. I'm guessing this is not the last I will have heard from the ants. It is fascinating to watch how fast they can move for their size, though. Not faster than the ball of my hand, unfortunately for them.
