We learned about European explorers and I chose to talk about Juan Ponce De Leon. He landed in St. Augustine, Florida. He was trying to find riches or land for Spain. Juan Ponce De Leon was looking for a mystical land because he believed that in the”very mystical land” lay the “Fountain Of Youth” now of course this was more of a myth than mystical. (Ha) Juan Ponce De Leon’s sponser was Spain. Ponce De Leon was the first European to land in Florida mainly St. Augustine. He claimed land for Spain only. There were three more explorers we learned about they were, Christopher Columbus, Christopher Newport, and Jaques Cartier. But I liked Juan Ponce De Leon. I hope you learned a bit more about this European explorer, Bye!
