Ninety seconds on Perot Post Office
There is no counter here any more: the old post office no longer sells stamps and stands shuttered while the city plans its renovation. Take your postcards to the General Post Office on Church Street.
From the pavement on Queen Street you see a small shuttered building. Queen Elizabeth Park, close by, was Perot's garden and a better place to sit.
Next door, Par-la-Ville, the house his father finished, holds the Bermuda Historical Society Museum. Portraits of Perot and his wife hang there, and the story of the stamps is told indoors.
