soup kitchen

A few days ago, Nina and I went with Javi, one of the staff members, to help out at a soup kitchen. First we set the tables, cut up bread and watermelon, etc., and then we helped serve the people who came to get food. The staff at the soup kitchen and the people who came were generally very courteous and kind to us.

It was definitely an eye-opening experience.

We recognized several of the people from around town, and it was strange to actually talk to them for the first time. The soup kitchen was also a really tangible demonstration of how bad the economy is in Spain and just how much poverty there is.

And Nina and I both agree that the soup kitchen was the most immersed that we´ve been so far in Cádiz.

Today we visited Gibraltar, so pictures tomorrow =)

Bye for now!
