BIG TOWN, SMALL WORLD

Close to the post office in San Pancho


I am waiting to receive a document I need in Mexico. The fee for UPS delivery was $101!! Instead, it was sent US Postal Service ($45!). The address I had given was our street address for UPS use instead of a post office box number. Not much mail at all comes to our little town, and we decided to ask at the post office about twenty miles away if the document might pass through there, and if so, might they stop it there and put it in our mailbox. Yes, they said, and yes.

The Jardin in San Pancho during Christmas. There are city offices to the right.
The population of the town our post office is in is over 113,000. I am the only person with my last name that they know of. The eleventh most common surname in the US.
