It is day 70, and the weather around me was warm I can feel
the warmth of the sun as summer approached. As I looked down from my balloon
and looked at my map, I saw I was over the land that Columbus had discovered. I
believed it was the new world now called Mexico. As I descended, I encountered
a tribe of fierce warriors, they lived in a city surrounded by water and
buildings made of blinding gold as they reflected the rays of the sun. They began chanting thinking I was one of
their gods returning. They took me to their temple dedicated to their highest
god. Their leader and high priest drank a dark liquid with a bitter smell, which
they called Cocoa. They handed me some to try and indeed was very bitter, with clear
earth tones. A priestess approached and began to speech in Spanish and as luck
would have it, I had learned Spanish as I explored Spain. I asked her what this
drink was and she told me it was crushed cocoa beans and boiled in water.
That
night I took a few of the nuts crushed them until it powdered, added sugar,
poured some milk and mixed them together until it became a past. After I roasted
some peanuts and sprinkled some salt on them, I acquired the peanuts a few days
ago from the natives from the country of Peru. After the peanuts were ready and
mixed with salt I dropped them and mixed them with the cocoa past I made and
took them out and let them dry upon tasting them they were actually very sweet
and once you got to the nut began to get salty and you tasted the peanut and
with a mixed after taste. The next morning I entered my balloon, waved goodbye
to my new friends, and looked forward to my next place I would visit.
