Why Do We Go To Polperro?
It’s probably redundant to say that we live in a world of abundant choices for entertainment. Given the financial assets, we have access to thousands upon thousands of videos and movies, millions of songs, hundreds of television channels, hundreds of radio channels, millions of books, cruises that provide constant entertainment between shore visits, the world packaged in one place-Las Vegas, and air travel to almost any part of the world.
