How to find a message in a bottle by legendairy

"One of those things that seem like they only happen in books"

How I did it: I was on the beach with my close friend that I've known since I was little, and we saw a bottle lying in the sand. It had a worn off label and looked as if it had been weathered by the sea for a long time. Inside was a message from someone in Africa that managed to get to the east coast of the US.

Lessons & tips: Be observant when walking along the beach. Also if they provide an address you should write them a letter back, as well as send them a letter in a bottle.

Resources: a friend, a beach, a bottle.

I want to find one!

That’s cool! You mention an address…Did they provide you with one? If so, Did you write back, what did you say?

I hope you do!

They gave me an address, and we wrote a letter back. My friend said he’d mail the letter and he took care of the postage back to Africa. In the letter we said where we had found the letter and that we had sent the letter in its bottle back in its bottle for someone else to find. We also said our favorite colors or something. It was one of those really nice moments, like when you see random acts of kindness between two strangers.
