Crash!

Date of update

Amalia crashed outside of Taquina, Bolivia on Sunday, riding with her friend Lois and myself. I had met them in Cusco a week or so prior, and we decided to travel through Bolivia together.We transported her in an ambulance to Clinica del Sur here in La Paz, where she is recovering. Her injuries are extensive... lacerated chin and nose. Broken nose amd jaw. Dislocated right elbow and shoulder. Cracked skull where her jaw pushed back into it. Missing teeth, and a little road rash on her hip.
