Gaita (bagpipes) is a particular type of bagpipe that is native to Galicia.  Besides this music, I also listened to my own music on Spotify when I went to the gym.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

My friend and I went the hot springs in a town called Outariz, which is about three miles outside of Ourense and has the most famous hot springs in the area. We walked to the hot springs in the afternoon, stayed there for two hours, ate dinner, and then took the train back to the city.

What did I read this week?:

While on break at my school, I read a couple of articles in the local newspaper (La Región) about the resurgence of the Cataluyan independence movement. I also continued to read my book about Sherman's siege of Atlanta during the Civil War.

What games or sports did I play this week?:

I played basketball during recess with some of my students a couple of days last week. Besides this, the only other physical activity I got was going to the gym.

Other news from this week:

Daylight Savings Time starts a week earlier in Europe than in the United States, so we set our clocks back an hour on the morning of October 27th.
