Message in a Bottle!
Hello!
On April 11th of this year, my brother and I traveled to visit graduate schools (I had to make a decision soon). After visiting Rodger Williams University, a local told us to hike the Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island.
After trekking along for several miles, we decided to turn and head back to the car. There was a sandy part of the beach we had passed and wished to collect sand for our mother. There was one problem, we had no receptacle to hold sand.
We made a makeshift one from a hallow stick we found, but as my brother went to put the sand in the stick, I looked down and found your bottle! (Yes, it now holds sand from Newport). The amusing thing is, we are from Chicago!
Finding this bottle was a great surprise and the start of what ended up being a wild trip from schools to this message in a bottle, meeting long-lost relatives and reconnecting with loved ones. I believe this was a good luck sign that allowed all the sequential events to occur.
Thank you for sharing your story!
