Moetladimo 0891

An ode to the best post office ever. Thank you John, Mathabele, and now, Victor for such great customer service, good conversation, and for smiling every time I walk through the door to greet you. The post office has been such a huge part of my experience... walking to check my mail, learning people's names all along the route, long talks with Tanya, Christy, Nick, and Elayna about everything, picking up and opening packages, eating candy/cookies on my way home, reading letters right outside the main entrance and tearing up, John being fair with his stamp and package prices, feeling safe and accepted, many offered rides, and always quite the adventure.
