Bom noite (Good evening) from Nova Iguacu. Today was another school day here in the city. We visited two schools today, E.M. Cyro Monteiro and E.M. Marcilio Dias. In the morning we taught about American culture at Cyro Monteiro, a middle school in Rio. At the school, we were treated to a live practice performance of the berimbau, a bow like instrument that originated in the Afro-Brazilian settlements in the state of Bahia. Following the mini-concert, the students put on a "stick "dance for us. It was very interesting.

In the evening, we joined our host teacher to teach some evening classes at E.M. Marcilio Dias School. Here we met a nice group of both high school and adult students and had a great time presenting and talking with them about America. Tomorrow we head again to the bilingual school in Nova Iguacu.
