My Heart Break

My friend in Puriscal, Tressa Hofos, sent me these pictures that were taken of the inside of the Catholic Church years after the earthquake. I cannot believe they let this magnificent heart of Puriscal just go to ruin.

I have been haunted by this building ever since the first time I saw it six years ago. It is in my heart that this should never be taken down, but it is in such disrepair I can't imagine what it would cost to save it. To me it is worth it, but this is not a wealthy nation. Because of the building having a historical designation it is also very hard for the Catholic church to have any control over it. Makes no sense to me, but that seems to be the way it is.

I still have not found one single photo of the church before the earthquake. It's like the Twilight Zone! I will continue to search. I think it will completely break my heart when I do.

Pura Vida!
