I found it intresting that the natives had large houses and gardens. Whenever I think of natives, I think of primitive people that hunt and gather and live in dingy make shift huts. It's also crazy how even though they had so many similarities, they still clashed over religion. 

How big was the fleet that Cortes went with? Do you think the natives welcomed them with open arms when they first arrived on shore? or do you think they only allowed them to stay out of fear?
