Inside the lovely colonial main post office. Compared to other places, where sending a package is a long and arduous process, here it was fast and efficient. I said my thing in Spanish, and was quickly shunted to an English speaking older clerk who was so quick that I was surprised when it was done. I said, anything else, and he said, no, thank you, all finished, with a smile. Every bit as expeditious as in the US. To me, a delightful experience. |
