I am really fascinated by this article. That is just crazy how after 24 years of this bottle with a message inside of it lying on a beach, someone finds it now. You would think that someone would have found it much earlier, especially with the amount of people that have probably walked that beach in a matter of 24 years. The boy and the father that wrote the message said they barely remembered the trip they took that encouraged them to write the message and leave it on the beach. But hey, I still think it'd be cool if I wrote a message when I was 5 and someone replied to me when I was 29.

I used to write letters to myself and put them into film canisters. Then I'd hide them around the house. It always makes me smile to find them, but I don't know if I'd want other people to read them! As proven by my intense embarassment when reading that concert review this morning, I'm clearly not 100% comfortable with revisiting my youth!
I always wanted to throw a bottle with a message in it into the ocean. It wouldn't go anywhere, but it'd be nice. Maybe I can take a trip by sea to England and drop one for my favorite class! Field trip to the beach!
No field trips to the beach. Especially not English beaches. I think that the furthest we're going to be able to go on a field trip is to the computer lab.
In my opinion, this is really cool. This makes me wonder if I did this right now. How long would it take to reach at a beach and someone reading my letter I wrote.
