Tenochtitlan, Mexico
I have left the city of Cholula on November 1. I have decided to go the direct route to Tenochtitlan. We have passed two volcanic mountains. When I looked over the hills at the sunrise I saw the most beautiful sight I have ever seen! It was so well organized! It was a true masterpiece! I have never seen anything much more beautiful than Tenochtitlan through my whole life! We were all astounded! Some of my soldiers asked if this was all a dream! Our dear King would be amazed at the discovery I have made! I see my prize but, in order to receive the prize....I need to win it! Let God show me a way to fight these people to win my prize! I will succeed!
