Aerialists and Archers was the second bottle of the project thrown, by a classmate from high school that I did not know well during school, but became friendly with  later in life after discovering her incredible writing. We had a meandering, enjoyable conversation about aerialists, and later I discovered she was going on a trip to Senegal. She kindly accepted my request to throw a bottle, and I found a very tiny bottle that had apricot nectar in it–did not want to make her luggage heavy!

I had started the collage with archers, for the letter "a", but then added in aerialists as a nod to our earlier conversation.
