Those locales proved an embarrassment of riches, well-worth recounting. But I\u2019ll do that down the road. For now I\u2019ll describe my return to the lower elevation of Lima. I had to kill a day awaiting a midnight flight to the States. At the baggage claim, I overheard a couple fellow travelers setting up passage on a boat to islands off the coast of Lima. They aimed to swim with the sea lions that ruled those seas. That sounded terrific. I quickly signed on.\u00a0"}
