...and so we chose to tour the most convenient one...the local Post Office...
...the Postmaster met us in the lobby...
...and took us behind the closed door marked 'Employees only'...
...we saw where and how the mail is sorted before it's sent out...
...and the loading dock where the trucks come in laden with incoming mail and get loaded with outgoing mail...
...and where the mail carriers do their final sorting before delivery...
...and we even got to tour one of the trucks...
...I've never been inside a Post Office before and it was certainly interesting...there's even a private walkway above the entire facility - accessible from outside that the Postal Inspector uses in secret...
...just one more thing to love about the Boys Scouts...
I am amazed at the postal service, what a huge task
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, really a fascinating thing to do.
ReplyDeletethat's cool! i've never been in one either. hopefully, we'll all get to keep the postal service - lots of disturbing news about it being shut down in the future.....reminds me vaguely of one of my favorite movies....The Postman.
ReplyDeletelove, k
I mailed your friend/co-worker something today...speaking of post offices -smile-.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from
Thistle Cove Farm.
That's so much fun! I always wonder what the grumpy people at my office are really dealing with back there! haha!
