On Saturday, March 27, twelve Jacksonville area residents representing Habitat for Humanity of Jacksonville (HabiJax) travelled to Tucurrique, Cartago, Costa Rica to work with Habitat para la Humanidad Costa Rica. We worked to build a house for a family with three children. Here is an account of our time in Costa Rica and some pictures of our experiences.

Day Two

View of an active volcano in background from the rim of Irazu, the dormant volcano that we visited today.

View over the rim of Irazu, which was last active in 1963.  At the highest point, we were 3432 meters above sea level.
We met three Peace Corp workers, two from Japan and one from Tampa, FL while visiting the volcano. They are here working with Habitat Costa Rica - small world!
The Basilica in Cartago - the largest in the country and a very popular pilgrimage destination.
