Such a needless tragedy. The recovery process for the burn victims makes me cringe.

Note to self: Don't hike on an active volcano that's waking up. Sometimes they're grouchy. Second note to self: Just because the cruise line offers the excursion, don't assume it's a nice safe Disney ride.

VOLCANO!
We were waiting for a bus in Kagoshima this morning. Several Japanese near us pointed, yelled, pulled out cameras. Sakurajima, the volcano that towers over the city was ERUPTING! No one seemed particularly surprised, and later, after clouds rolled in and shrouded it said we were very lucky to have seen it. Eruptions are common- it's one of the world's largest active volcanos- but we saw it within seconds of the beginning. A first for me!

Faithful readers will note that I don't always take my own advice. This from last month just a week before the New Zealand eruption.
