March 1, 1500I have never been a happier, luckier man. King Manual the first of Portugal has sent me on a trip to India to trade for spices and goods. This has been my dream since I was a little boy. I will be keeping a journal to remind me of my triumphs. I believe that my 1500 men and I will be leaving on the ninth day of March from Portugal. We will be following the route of my good friend, Vasco De Gama. I hope that we are successful.
Not much is known about Pedro Cabral's earlier life, except that he was born in 1467.
