i found an amazing town in girona, spain called ullastret. and IN this town was the MOST amazing restaurant called el fort. it was super quaint and the food was phenomenal. and IN this great restaurant was an amazing waitress. i leave my word stones all over the world in hopes that people will find find them in the most obscure places. but, occasionally, i will leave one in an obvious place. this place was on top of our waitress’s tip.
FIVE years later, this waitress found me on facebook and still has the rock that i left her ! her name is nuria gil and she now lives in England. she said that she carries that rock with her everywhere she moves to.
the word was “hope.”

THANK U SO MUCH!!! im astonished to read my story on ur blog!! it sounds like a fairy tale 🙂
I’m so happy to had found u as the stone was so meaningfull at the exactly moment u gave me and that makes it so special!! u can not imagin!!
I tried to find u before to taLk to you and to know more about why u gave it to me as there were more people working in the restaurant and why HOPE.
I saw the name wrote on the back of the rock so i tried to find more information. i found some web pages but none had ur picture so i supposed that u had bought the stone somewhere and maybe you could be another person.
Now i’m living in England and facebook is imprescindible to know what’s going on so i decided to try and that’s when i found you!!! it’s almost unbelievable!!
I was living in another places and i always carry the stone with me as an amulet
THANKS AGAIN!!
U DESERVE ALL THE BEST!! XXX
