Pacifico means "peaceful" The non-violent explorer named it thusly!?!?!?!!? (whomever that is)

Matt said...

Probably the same guy that named half of the world... Magellan.

Oh Matt, you are too smart...yes it was,but Balboa discovered the ocean.

Sir Francis Drake?

Matt said...

I don't think Balboa discovered the ocean-- I think the Western Hemisphere's very first fisherman did.

Vasco de Gamma. I just like saying Vasco de Gamma it is very satisfying.
