Tibutini Biodiversity Station (TBS) has been the destination of our trip Amazon. The resort, managed by the University of San Francisco de Quito, is located along the river Tibutini, a tributary of the Amazon. The Amazon is the largest river in the world and attracts more water than the next 10 rivers combined. The Amazon basin covers 40 percent of the area of South America. The Amazon is well known for its biodiversity. But the SCT and the Yasuni National Park adjacent are exceptionally diverse. One can say that this area is the most diverse habitat in the world.The region is at the center of a small area of amphibians, birds, mammals and the diversity of plants all reach their maximum level in the Western Hemisphere.
To say that the SCT is remote is not exaggerated. To get there, we flew south from Quito to Coca, a small town on the Napo River. A pair of toucans White-fronted us look great in the trees along the River. White-winged swallows, a close relative of our swallows, hawked insects over the water.
My Grandma has earned quite a few terms of endearment: Granny Goose, Grandma Cuckoo, Cuckoo Bird, Gram. All of them are said in love. There isn't enough space on the World Wide Web to share all the crazy, silly, cooky things she's said and done. Now, add to her adorable wit and charm, the fact that she's just about deaf (and refuses to admit it), and you have the recipe for some hilarious moments. My Grandma has been the glue that has kept our family together. After my mother died, she faithfully called me weekly to check on me. Not a birthday, anniversary, or holiday goes by without a phone call or a card in the mail...many times with a few dollars tucked inside for the children. And she never leaves a message on our answering machine without verbally signing it, "...so call me back Joanne when you get home. Grandma" She's a pretty amazing gal. While visiting at Grandma's house, she received a few phone calls. Her phone is turned up so loud we could hear the person on the other line screaming...
