This is what you see after your car fishtails off the road and hits a tree.
After we pulled the car out, Gatis tried to drive, but the fender was wedged into the wheel.
This is what the car looks like now.
When the tractor finally came we had to break the trees in order to pull the car out
This is what it looked like afterwards
It's a very simple equation I learned: when the road is more ice than asphalt, don't try going faster than the speed limit, and when the car crashes and you try to figure out what happened, don't yell "Ow my nose!" because it won't help anything. Oh, and don't let the guy (his name is Armands) who's only driven a car once in his life before drive. And wear warm socks, because it's gonna be snowing and you're gonna be out there for a good five or six hours and your feet are gonna be wet. And if you need to, don't be afraid to sit down in the sideways car for warmth.
I sat down in the car with Edijs and smoked a spanish cigar as he lamented the loss of his car. He told me it was a Ford and this pained me for some reason or another.

Bryce,
Remember that one key request that we had: 'please try to complete one oversees trip without getting hurt or landing up in the hospital'?
I believe the request was just to not end up in the hospital. I'm still good.
