columbus and spain

day 3, columbus claimed the islands for spain. everywhere we sailed he met Taino people. he wrote about all the people he met in his journal. he was impressed by what they all could do, but he still thought he was better than anyone. This is what he wrote, "They were built with good bodies and handsome features..... they would make fine servants....... with fifty men we could make them do whatever we want". since the Taino wore fine gold and jewelry, chris thought that there were gold mines on the islands.this was awesome because we saw real gold on the Tainos, got to see what they do and that they are really talented.
