Dear King and Queen of Spain, Thank you for giving me the supplies I need for this journey. Dear King and Queen of Spain, Right now I am sailing with Rodrigo Bastadas from Spain to South America. We are in search of treasures. We are being forced to abondon are leaky ship in Hispaniola. I have to make some money so I can fix are ship and keep exploring I will try and make some money farming. After a while farming has been unsucessful. Dear King and Queen of Spain, It is now 1510 and I have arrived in San Sabastian, I just discovered it has been burnt to the ground. I am trying to convince the others to come with me to find land. Dear King and Queen of Spain, (1511)I have just found a colony in South america and I am the first European to make a settlement in south America. Dear King and Queen of Spain, We headed west through some very dense forests and went through Indian villages killing many. I have just found a new ocean called the Pacific Ocean. I claimed all the land we touched for our country Spain.I found it in 1513 and am now stealing Indians gold. I have just found out in 1518 that my friend Arias de Availa has framed me for betraying the King and Queen I will be arrested. From 1514 to 1519 I have been in jail. Today January 1519 I will be publicly beheaded.On this trip some knowledge was gained that there was another ocean in the world.Vasco Balboa is mostly remembered for discovering the Isthmus of Panama and for finding the pacific ocean.
