Leif Ericson By:Brynne Labuzan



October 28, 1003 Dear journal, After months at sea I have just arrived at the island Bgarni Herjolfsson had described to me! This place is absoulutly wonderful and I do not know why Bjarni would not want to stay here. Also, there is great farmland and lovely warm weather here just as I was hoping for. My crew and I plan to work on homes for ourselves tommorow for we are just getting used to this lovely place today. Well, I must go get ready for dinner for my crew and I are going to have fresh meat in celebration of the arrival!So fare well for now!

October 29, 1003 Dear journal, We are settling in the new place quite well and are prepared for a hard day of work buliding our new homes. To bulid our new homes we are going to cut some of the many trees on the island to use for the main support then we will use a large amount of grass and wheat as a roof to cover up the large wooden poles. As we already have realized it will take a great amount of time to bulid our new homes and untill that time we will sleep on the large rocks we have found. I am very pleased to be at this new place and hope to have lots of great adventures in the time that I am here. Well, my crew and I must start working in order to get much done today. So fare well!

October 30, 1003 Dear journal, Yesterday we accomplidhed a great deal on our new home. We have found lots of trees gras and other plants on this new place and they are just wonderful for our homes. I am so greatful that the king and queen of Scandinavia have let me go on this voyage and have supplied me with everything I have needed. I am also very pleased that this place has exactly what I wanted which is better farm land and warmer climate. Well, we must work on our homes more so fare well!

October 31, 1003 Dear journal, I have recently found an unusual plant called the vine. This plant seems to attach itself to anything it can and it twists and turns in all different directions! I have decided to name this place Vinland after this strange plant for I may find this plant of great use. Well, I must send this journal back to Scandinavia for the king and queen of Scandinavia so they can have a record of what is happening in this new land. So, fare well and I hope to have a great time while I am here in the new land of Vinland.
