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.

She is lucid, angry at herself, but in relatively good spirits. Her sense of humor is intact. She should recover fully. Right now they are simply waiting for the swelling to subside in her brain. She will be in the hospital in La Paz for some time... no one really knows how long.

So, we thought it would be nice to have people from all over send a quick email wishing her well...

Thanks!!
