 * Dear journal,**

Guess, I said " Hola" to him and he said that he was Diego de Almago. On my first voyage I had made an aquaintance. We met Hernando de Luque also.** **I sailed to Panama and met the Inca empire and, sadly, captured the Inca emperor. I sailed again in 1526.My voyages was a fun, but I did make a few mistakes. I was a greedy person and I did very bad things. Well, that was my life was, I made a very bad mistakes.
 * Now it's 1513, time for my first voyage to Panama. Let's go. All aboard! Life at sea could be hard, but all explorers, like me are up for the challenge. I know about scurvy, but that's not going to scare me because I am a Francisco Pizzaro! Oh no! Look we're are moving away from the port. Im'm not going to panic. Just going to think orf the calm seas-" What was that?" "That's just the ship's anchor, calm down captain", replied one of the sailors. During this voyage I'm becoming lesser and lesser scared of the high seas, I might even do this again. I see a land. 'Land Ho!", I screamed. I'm thinking this is Panama. Hey, look there is man at the island, I wonder who that is?

Hola, my name is Francisco Pizzaro. I was born in Trujillo, Spain in 1475? I wanted to sail for a voyage at young age, so I sailed in 1513 to Panama, now known as central America. I sailed to seek fame and fourtune in America that was recently discovered. I reached Panama, the land I planned to sail to. I soon met Diego de Almago and Hernando Luque. I formed a partnership with both of them. On Panama I discovered the Inca Empire and met with the Inca Emperor. There I found gold, silver, and many other riches. By September 1532, I planned to meet Atahualpa, the emperor of Incas. I planned to make him my prisonor. 200 of my men and I set off to the city of Cajamacara. On November 16th I reached Cajamacara, hid away from sight, and captured the Emperor, as the Incas had no weapons. I asked for a __very__ high ransom, but after the ransom was paid I had the Inca emperor killed. Soon, my ungrateful partner, Almagro felt I had cheated him out of money. I broke into war and soon he was killed. Almagro's followers attacked and killed me in my palace in Lima, on June 26th, 1541. That finished me.**
