(cont.) Postal Museum

After a healthy lunch at U. Station we walked across the street to the Postal Museum. We learned a lot about the Pony Express to the NY underground tube mail delivery system to stamps from around the world to crazy things sent thru the mail. For example: we saw the envelope the "Hope Diamond" was mailed in when Winston donated it to the Smithsonian. It was a neat learning exerience, I suggest all visit. I have a new appreciation for all mail carriers!
