Admiral Sunny Drunk Day
Today in Spain is "Columbus Day".......a fiesta......when the locals celebrate the discovery of America......god only knows why?
The true story is however different.
My great,great,great,......grandfather Admiral Sunny Drunk was the first man to discover the "new world" not Columbus.
What happened is this........Columbus was working in a sardine factory in Portugal when the "good Admiral" sailed by.....he pleaded with the admiral to give him a lift and being of a kind disposition the Admiral agreed,picked Columbus up and sailed west.
It was this great Englishman who sighted America first....and on the spot named it "The United States of Admiral".(this however didn't sound too good and was later changed by a guy called George Washington).
The ship landed in Florida and in honour of Admiral Sunny Drunk it was called "The Sunshine State".
Columbus moved west to California by Greyhound Bus and later opened up the "Columbus Bakery" in the Sacramento area.
This is the true story of how America was founded.
The Plaque was erected to commemorate Admiral Sunny Drunk's amazing discovery.
It depicts the "good Admiral's ship" parking at Hiawatha's house
