Vasco Nunez de Balboa was the first european to see the pacific ocean. Balboa was born in 1475 and lived to 1519. Balboa was born in the city of Jerez de los Caballeros. Not much is known about his early life. His voyage to the new world (North America) was in 1501. Balboa sailed on a ship called Rodrigo de Bastidas. Bastidas took the people on the ship to present day Colombia. At Colombia, the crew explored the coast. Balboa landed in Hispaniola which is now Haiti Dominican Republic. His job was to be a farmer, but in 1510 his farm failed and he was in debt. Legend says, Balboa stowed away on a ship to not pay the debts. That ship’s captain was Martin Fernandez de Enciso. Balboa was a brave and ruthless explorer. He is remembered for his trips to the most feared jungles in the world at that time but, the important thing about Balboa is that he was the first european to see the pacific ocean.

I am back to blog
Hi I am back to blog post. I live with my parents and my twin brother. I will be posting about Pokemon, Roblox/ Video games, and Pokemon Tournaments DX/ My Nintendo Switch. I hope you like my new posts!I just had a sleepover with my friend Oscar. He came to my house and we played on my Nintendo Switch. We only played Splatoon 2 and Pokemon Tournaments DX. First we played Splatoon 2 and we each played once. I played and i got the orange ink team. The orange team has fire powers and orange ink powers. I like orange team the most and Oscar and I went to the Nintendo store and he got an orange Splatoon little squid character! Then we played Pokemon Tournaments DX. We got all hyper while playing, and starting running around the room like maniacs playing a video game. It was so much fun. I always used Garchomp and Suicune, and I sometimes used Charizard, Pikachu, Darkrai, and I used Sicor once. Same with him. We played on and on until we went to bed.
Tell me what you want me to write more about in the comment section. I will post roblox and nintendo switch the most often. See you later. Bye!
