But "San" goes before "Santa" in Spanish

Right, but San V goes behind Sant, therefore it’s the correct order.

Peru has two versions of its flag. In Vancouver/Toronto they were different. So how do they choose?

It's a complex vexillogical matter, which only Sheldon Cooper could explain in "Fun with Flags"... but there are differences between a National Flag, a Civic Flag and a National Ensign.

I remember Santo DOmingo opening ceremony (the first Pan Am I can recall) compared to Lima 2019, and this is miles ahead. Just wow.

The one thing I remember from those Games opening is the kid hitting the baseball on fire to lit the cauldron, A la Barcelona

Well this one’s a bit better than the first one I can remember. That would be, oh, 2015.

They did that at the 2017 Universiade too.
