ENSENADA MEXICO..............

Today I am in Ensenada, Mexico; the second of two ports of call on this four day Carnival 'Inspiration' cruise Fr. Ben and I have taken together.  We disembarked just before midday walking and powerchairing into Ensenada, soaking up the brilliant sunshine and the locals, including a throng of individual vendors hawking their wares.  We relaxed for a  good while in a community park and lunched on some local fare before returning to the ship.  After the farewell dinner tonight we will enjoy some of the musical entertainment onboard, which has included a splendorous Motown Hitsville Revue and the house band Rock n Roll of The StraitJackets.  We return to Long Beach in the morning and head home to Northern California in the afternoon..............fr.tdp
