RIP Lola
Ok, well you guys probably won't have a clue who I'm on about, but today I was gutted to learn that a childhood friend of mine, Lola Almudevar was killed in a car accident in Bolivia.
Lola was a girl I used to hang round with in Nottingham, we were friends , not overly close, but close enough that we'd pile round her house once in a while and gatecrash her birthday party 3 years in a row without fail. My mate Michael was the first guy to get to snog her, which he got great kudos for, and she was a totally mad smiley person to be around.
I then did not see or hear from her from about 1995 til this year when I joined Facebook and found out from her profile she was travelling around Bolivia, one day she pointed to a BBC news article that she had penned and I and many others were impressed with how far she'd come.
She was on her way to report on a demonstration, when her car collided into two trucks that had already crashed and was killed instantly. The colleague she was travelling is seriously injured in hospital.
Lola was 29, in her prime, her journalist career was taking off, and I'm totally gutted.

Here is the last report she made on the legalisation of Bolivia's coca leaf.

Re: RIP Lola
Yes I am...are you?
My thoughts go out to Lola's little sister Becca who has been so busy contacting Lola's friends on Facebook, and of course her Mum and Dad....must be heartbreaking.

Re: RIP Lola
Sorry to hear the sad news. People die everyday from one way or another, you would think we would be used to it by now, but it just never seems to get any easier...
