Time out

I've been a bit out of touch of late and spending far too much time in Waikato Hospital at my father's bedside. It's stressful doing nothing except try to figure out what you can do to help someone recover when the spark of and for life is almost gone.

Mountain bikes in Bolivia

Dave and Anna have been in Bolivia for about 7 months now and were enjoying much of the life style. However in the last week Anna has required hospital treatment after being attacked by a coati and Dave, feeling like some attention, decided to go low level flying from his bike and broke/cracked a bone in his shoulder. He says a little about it here and there are some photos including Xrays here.
Dave has now had a screw put in to secure his shoulder - actually he just wanted to follow his father and uncle and start collecting metal bits attached to his bones. Not able to ride for a while, and Anna less than excited about rabid coati coati, they are will be figuring out where to next in the near future.
