Journal of the First Voyage to America

When Columbus first arrived at the cape of the island he began to love the landscape. He described the trees as being quite abundant and the birds song as being so exquisite. As he was wondering the island he became face to face with the natives that were settling there. When they realized they were discovered they fled with their goods to the mountains abandoning their houses. I think that the natives should have stayed on their ground and met with Columbus because maybe they could have benefitted from each other. If food or shelter was a problem for either of them, then they could have helped one another.
