The PO and General Store, Joyce, WA

After a fun day of seeing and photographing along the coast, we headed inland to the small village of Joyce. Here, there is a post office and general store (in one building), a school and few more buildings, but not many.

With its neatly packed shelves of boxes and tins, it has a colorful appearance under the fluorescent lights and beadboard walls and ceiling.

An old style place filled with modern things. It really resembles one of the similar sorts of places we visited in Australia. 

And the post office in the corner is the icing on the cake. I especially like the the context. In the photo below you see that you can purchase a sports wrap, a condom, a jar of jam (I think), a candle, or if you prefer, mail a package. You can even pay for the privilege of whining.


It is clear that this is the place that everyone in town visits frequently. It is certainly a place I recommend that you visit one your next trip to the Olympic Peninsula.
