Proving I am both a nerd and a worrier

In preparing for my bus trip to Boston (which I will write about later), I took a trip down to Union Station to figure out where to get on the bus (because I am a worrier). But, across the street from Union Station, is the (much less popular) National Postal Museum. It was actually pretty interesting, like learning about the evolution of Postal vehicles (like most of the Postal vehicles after WW I were retired Army Jeeps, painted with the excess Army green). But my very favorite thing was the collection of postal stamps all over the world. I spent about 2 hours looking through all of the collection (and there were lots). It was kind of interesting to look at the history of the world through the stamps. Like seeing Hilter show up on the Germany stamps (as well as the occupation stamps from both Germany during the war and US/British/Russian occupation of Berlin post-war). And it was kind of weird to see stamps from former colonies (like British Honduras or Portuguese India). I took pictures of my favorite stamps, which you can see below:
