January 1531

We are setting out today on the ship. It is quite nerve racking. All of our crew here. All of our supplies are ready. We board the ship. Off we go. We are in the water now. The waves are calm at first. It shouldn't be long untill we reach the Indies. At least, if we will reach the Indies.

From Pizarro.

February 1531

We are still at sea, and the food supply is still supple. There was a raging storm, but it blew fish aboard our ship. It may have been a gift.

from Pizarro

June 1532

We have found land! Rejoice! Rejoice! I haven't written in a while because we just sailed. There are funny people on the island that we discovered. They build pyramids, and make sacrifices to the Gods. They have dark skin and dark hair and wear barely any clothing.

from Pizarro

July 1532 We have had war with the funny people. We won. We have also found funny animals. I have included a sketch. I am bringing back the funny animals, some gold, and two dark-skinned prisoners. We are setting sail to home soon. from Pizarro

November 1533

It is getting cold out, but that is fine. We are manly men. We will be reaching home soon. from Pizarro

December 1533

Rejoice! Halleujah! We are home! The king and queen are very impressed with the people, gold and animals. Now called //llamas.// I have been renamed Fransisco Pizarro, famed explorer!
