Wineglass Marathon ~ October 2010
I always loved that post office building. Used to go in there to mail letters to my husband when he was in Thailand. That was before email, Skype, texting, cell phones, etc. THAT was our communication for eleven months and 21 days. Always loved the architecture of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story, Patricia. I still like to send and receive postal mail.
DeleteThe post office down the road in Bath is ancient, too. My uncle was postmaster there for a hundred or so years :)
Those old buildings are an architectural treasure, though probably horrible to heat or cool.
I love that there is so much history in a building, makes it very special :D
ReplyDeleteAnd a wineglass marathon sounds like do much fun!
