Balboa's First Sight of The Pasific
We have reached a village called Comogre, and surprisingly the chief's name is also Comogre. I must admit it has made it somewhat hard to differentiate who they speak of. Comogre has hosted a large fast for us and the amount and quality of thefood and decorations that they have prepared for us has impressed me and my men very much. The son of Comogre, Ponquiaco, has brought to my attention where they get their gold from, Tubanamá. I have also been told of the land to the South called Birú. We have explored the area and I have found that there is also a large body of water. I will shortly return to Santa Marta with high hopes of making small expeditions to this land full of gold.
