I just returned from a short cruise out of Long Beach with a stop in Ensenada, Mexico The poverty, the little kids begging, the crowded shambles for housing, the dirty streets all depressed me. A Fun Cruise was not. Sure the ship was nice, the food was good as were the entertainment but when I pulled out a dollar for some kid selling chicklets and magically 6 or 7 more materialized and they all handed the money to a parent.
