This is a picture of where we're headed on Thursday: Goma, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is situated right on the Congo-Rwandan border. This is a picture of the Goma airport. We won't be flying in here because that big mountain in the background is a volcano named Mount Nyirangongo. It erupted in 2002 and destroyed a good portion of the runway and a significant part of the city. That's just part of the painful story the people of Goma have been living. We'll be flying into Kigali in neighboring Rwanda and driving west to Goma. We leave from San Francisco on Thursday afternoon and will be in Goma on Sunday night (we're staying Saturday night in Kigali before heading to Goma). We're not sure how reliable the internet connection will be in Goma but we hope to update this blog along the way so keep checking back. You can also subscribe to our blog using the link below.
