Idle question of the day...

... how many of you have actually witnessed (as in, with your own eyes, not on TV screens, etc.) a volcanic eruption? I have, I'm just wondering how large a percentage of the population has.

(Mine was the 1970 eruption of Hekla on Iceland; we overflew the lava field and then circled the erupting cone for some time in a private aircraft)

No kiddin'. What for? Goma is not exactly high on anyone's list of tourist destinations. (Although Gisenyi, a short walk across the Rwandan border, deserves to be.)

He has friends in the area, and it's a starting point for some more tourist-y destinations. Trip is actually back on now.
