Café Irazu is named after the 3.432 m costa rican volcano which last erupted when John F. Kennedy came to visit in 1963. The Irazú, named after an indian tribe that used to live nearby, helps the people of Cartago determining which way is north. Very convenient, since costa rican streets do not have names, nor the houses numbers, so adresses are like "200 m north, 800 west and 75 north of where the chinese restaurant used to be before the health inspector turned up".
This coffee shop in Montevideo does have an adress, though; it´s Juan Carlos Gómez 1315, and the costa rican coffee is excellent. And as always, it provides photo opportunities for the Project when the "eruption" comes 5 minutes later.
Since I´m a nice guy, I give you a picture of the Irazú crater as well.
