http://tobiastravels.blogspot.com/2009/01/ecuador-august-18-2006.html

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller. Ecuador: August 18, 2006. The jungle was intense. Hot, humid, loud, buggy, beautiful! So lush, so green. The overwhelming sensation was one of being surrounded by life. A place where "all plants are rare and rare plants are common,". Most of the flowers were in the canopy, some 30-40 meters overhead. Plants with spines, plants with latex,. When roads are cut in for oil exploitation it also provides access for settle...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller. Ecuador: August 6, 2006. Just in town (quito) for the day. Spent most of it at the botanical gardens- freaking out on blooming orchids. Gotta pack my bags for the jungle- leaving at 6´´45 tomorrow morning. Plane then bus, then canoe - - woah! I didnt realize that the amazon basin still has 75 percent of its primary forest. All i´d ever heard about was how fast it was getting cut down. Gesneraceae, melastomataceae, a...

Latin American Travelogues: Draculas in the Mist (January 2008)

http://tobiastravels.blogspot.com/2009/12/draculas-in-mist.html

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller. Draculas in the Mist (January 2008). OK so what was it that took me to Los Cedros? Well, a young mycologist from the royal ontario museum in toronto took an interest in the orchid genus Dracula. Why would a mushroom systematist care about orchids? 180;´if they look like mushrooms, how can you tell that they are orchids? So queried one puzzled aquaintance.hhhhhhhmmmmm. Why would an orchid care to appear like a fungus?

Latin American Travelogues: Carnaval (February 2008)

http://tobiastravels.blogspot.com/2009/12/carnaval.html

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller. Got a little behind the ball on the email updates…….i guess being too engaged to hang out on the computer is a good thing! So i left los cedros after three weeks……. The mule ride down was much shorter, clocking in at only 3 hours! Arriving in chontal (the nearest pueblito to the reserve) I got my first taste of carnaval! The basic idea is to get people wet and dirty……. Headed out of town with my friend Rocio. It was...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller. A la Costa; Feb 2010. So neither jesse nor I could remember the last time we had had a vacation…………. After a month in the rain and mud, nothing sounded better than heading to the coast to dry out for a minute! Much of the coast of south America is under the influence of the Humbolt current. It is the most productive marine ecosystem in the world,. Accounting for approximately 18-20% of the world’s fish catch,. The o...
