Cadiz, Spain

Wednesday, February 12, 2020 my last day in Spain I went with Garry and Janet to Cadiz.
                                                                 Spain is a beautiful country.
                              I have enjoyed the drives to the various cities in southern Spain.
                                      We crossed a big bridge as we drove into Cadiz.
                            Cadiz is another city right on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
                                        The view as we crossed the bridge into Cadiz.
                                                                We drove through the city.
                             Cadiz was founded in 1100 BC making it 3100 years old.
                               


                                            Cadiz is the southernmost port of mainland Spain.
                                             Cadiz is known for its watch towers.
                                  There was a cruise ship docked at the harbor in Cadiz.
                     Millie said that sometimes they hold Stake Conference in this building in Cadiz.
                                                                    We met Millie in Cadiz.
                  Millie is as member of the El Puerto Branch in Spain but  comes to Cadiz to work.
                                                        An advertisement for dried fish.
                                                               The main plaza in Cadiz.
                                                          Millie was a great guide.
                                                                        Cadiz City Center.
                                                      A typical street n a city in Spain.
                                        We walked by the Catholic Church on our way to the beach.
                                                         Repairs being made n the old city.
                                                                         The coast at Cadiz.
                                              Millie was a fun person to get to know.
                                               Another photo taken by the beach in Cadiz.
                                      Millie took a selfie so that we could all be in it.
                                                       I enjoyed the various beaches in Spain.
                                                                  Notice at the Catholic Church.
                                             We walked inside this Catholic Church.
                                          Playing cello on the street an begging for money.
                                          I am standing in front of the Catholic Church in Cadiz.
                                                      Another view of the Catholic Church.
                                                       A candy store in Cadiz.
                                     Janet bought some candy.  She had lots to choose from.
                                  There were lots of venders in the narrow streets of Cadiz.
                                                                  Years ago this helped certify the city.
                                      Things made from cork were sold in this store on the street.
                             A grocery store showing the ham hocks that the Spaniard's enjoy.
                                     One could buy anything they want on the street in Cadiz.

                                                       A flower market in Spain.
                                                   There were lots of people walking around the plaza.
                                                              The post office in Cadiz, Spain.
                                                  Millie was a good guiide.
                                                        She enjoyed showing us around.
                                     I enjoyed the big fish market that Millie took us to.
                                                    We saw all kinds of fresh fish just caught.
                                                At the Fish Market they had fish of every kind.
                                                               It was all very interesting.
                                Everyone seemed to have a different kind of fish to sell.






                                   Salmon and tuna were sold in this booth at the Fish Market.




                                    I have never seen so many different kinds of fish.
                                    Millie had a cute personality and was fun to visit with.


                              At the Fish Market they also sold olives of every kind.
                                           Millie bought some friend fried fish for us to try .
                                                                 It was a fun snack.
                          Every city in Spain seems to have a model of a cow sitting on the street.
                                              We continued our walk around Cadiz.

                                     We walked back to the port where we had our car parked.
The Cruise  ship reminded me of my Mediterranean Cruise I took around Spain in 2014.

                                 Millie has a business in Cadiz where she sells pulled pork.
                       Years ago Millie's missionary companion  taught her how to make pulled pork.
                                  Her business is called "Street Food Take Away"
                                              Millie seems to keep busy in her little restaurant.
                                                  She gave Garry a huge loaf of bread
              Millie closes her store n the middle of the day but it was time to open it up again.
                     She had several customers come for pulled pork while we were there.
                          Millie made us each pulled pork sandwiches to take home.
                              This bread will last Garry and Janet for a little while.  It was huge.
Garry and Janet are teaching Millie's two children- a boy 17 years old and a girl 13 years old the gospel.  They plan to be baptized soon.  I enjoyed getting to know Millie .  I am happy that she is returning to church after not being active for many years.
