		<description><![CDATA[Monday April 16 Our Chicago-Beijing American Airlines flight was on a Boeing 777 and the business class seating was excellent, even better than the pods that Air Canada uses for business class.   I actually slept a few hours, which I don&#8217;t usually do.   And watched only two movies, &#8220;Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy&#8221; (dark, dense, mesmerizing, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Saturday, St. Paddy&#8217;s Day.  A few folks are wearing a bit of green, but since half my tour companions are Jewish it&#8217;s probably more of a coincidence with them than a conscious decision.   (Me, I lost track of the dates and wore my green yesterday.  Sigh.  Me sainted Irish mother is probably going tsk-tsk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quito has a couple of distinctions.   At about 9200 feet elevation, it&#8217;s the highest capital city in the world.   It&#8217;s also the only capital city to be directly menaced by an active volcano.   Pinchincha, just off the western edge of the city, last erupted in 2006.   Although it basically just burped gas and spewed out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Breakfast on Monday morning in the elegant Monasterio dining room included a five-star quality buffet array plus a bonus:  an equally elegant Spanish guitar player providing live accompaniment.    That&#8217;s a first! We&#8217;re off this morning to tour Cuzco, the capital of the ancient Incan Empire.   The place was actually settled more than 300 years before [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is there a white water category higher than Class 5?   Maybe Class 6?   If so, the Urubamba would qualify.   Our little narrow gauge Peru Rail train goes right along the edge of the crazily turbulent river on its three-hour trip from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes, the jumping-off point for people visiting Machu Picchu and hiking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Friday, January 6 I was moved over to the Sheraton today and it&#8217;s clearly a newer, better-run property.    It&#8217;s a bit like Old Home Week in that some of the staff remember me (us, because Sylv was with me) from previous visits.   Steve Ford, who was managing the place, has moved on to Sheraton&#8217;s newest, [...]]]></description>
