Tuesday nights are big nights in Salvador. Lots of people head to Pelourinho to hear drummers perform. Pelourinho is full of buildings from the colonial period that have been restored. The work they have done on these buildings is great! The picture to the left is of some of the female drummers. They wander around the cobblestone streets in Pelourinho playing, dancing, and singing. Lots of people join in with the singing and the dancing. I'm happy to stay on the sidelines and watch... I'm not a very good dancer. Today at my volunteer placement we taught computers and english to children. They are pretty good with computers and love to learn more. After the computer lesson they go have an english class while I do some tutoring with their computer teacher. Just before we left for the day I helped teach the children Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. They would rather sing it in Portugues than English though.... ahhh, well.... maybe next time.....
