Geocache Description:

Aerial's nanos were among the first caches I ever found. For that reason, I was saddened when Aerial deactivated one of my first-ever finds, but I was glad when she offered me use of the container. With an eye toward continuing her series of hides at interesting cultural locations, I placed this cache in a neat artsy spot. Cache is not at listed coordinates; you must solve the puzzle to find the cache. Permission has been given for this hide.

What follows below is a mostly-fictionalized account of how I hunted down Aerial's nanos. Pay close attention and you'll be able to solve the puzzle. You can check your solution here. -----------------------------------------------------------------

Now, one of the first caches I ever found was the one at Grace Church, downtown. I was amazed at how tiny the container was, but also thought it was so clever to hide something at such an old, historic building. I couldn't see the entirety of the church, so I took a trip up the hill to Prospect Park to see if I could get a better view. Well, I found the cache up there (it took a few tries!) and definitely got a great view of the city, but I couldn't quite see the church, either.

That was alright, though. I decided to head downtown again, this time going for a stroll down the River Walk. It was such a nice day, but my GPS coordinates were taking me everywhere except the cache. Eventually I found it, but not without some serious searching. Satisfied for the day, I went home. By now I had the caching bug; I knew I had to find more caches! I headed down to Benefit Street. It was nice being up on the hill again, and I took in the atmosphere of the beautiful old neighborhood.

I headed back down the hill and met a friend back at the River Walk for lunch, where I impressed him with how tiny a nano really is! After lunch we parted ways and I stopped to pick up another smiley at the Convention Center, then went on yet another search.

Wayland Square was where I found myself next, and I attracted the attention of a nearby office muggle who thought I was acting suspiciously. It wasn't my fault that her business had a name related to caching! I eventually found the cache, then went back across town for dinner. I met up with another friend at Waterplace Park, taking the time to pick up yet another nano on the way. That was enough for the day, so it was back home for a good night's sleep.

When I woke up it was a beautiful day, so I decided to visit Fox Point and enjoy the cool breeze and do some people watching. I found one nano there, but was convinced there was another. I searched and searched, but came up empty-handed. Zip, zilch, zero, nada. How frustrating! As the sun went down, I took the Footbridge back over the highway and went home once more, to dream of what I would find next.

Due to the fact that some people have had trouble finding the cache among all the possible hiding spots, I've added a hint:
