Let's start our journey!

Hey guys welcome back with me Alan Grant!! Today we will start our adventure!! Are you ready??

Thursday: Snakewater, Montana. Ellie and me got information from Hammond about Isla Nublar. There were plants of building and a map. The map showed that the island was long and narrow. Ellie said its like a zoo. When ellie saw her watch she told me that we must go now because we have to go to the airport at Choteau by five o’clock. And finally we arrived at Choteau.

Early on Friday morning, Hammond’s plane landed at San Jose, the biggest city in Costa Rica. Then me, Ellie, Malcolm, Gennaro and Hammond got into a small helicopter to Isla Nublar. After 45 minutes, they saw the island. It had sides and there were thick forests. There were clouds of fog all round the island. The helicopter flew toward the northern end of the island. And after that we landed at on top of one of the hills. And a man wearing a baseball cap ran up to them. He said hi.. he is Ed Regis, the publicity manager. His job is to look after visitors to the resorts. Then we all started to walk down the hill. I looked around him. I looked down the hills towards the south of the island then i stopped and stared. I could see a tall, curved tree trunk in the distance. But it had no leaves and it was taller than the other trees. Then the tree trunk moved and turned towards Grant. Suddenly the paleontologist realized that I was looking at the curved neck of an animal 15m high. I was looking at a dinosaur! I was starting to believe that these animals were real. The dinosaur is Apatosaurs, they were welcoming us to the island. Hammond said that we go with Mr Regis. He’ll show you to your rooms in the Safari Lodge. As we went down the hill towards some buildings, they passed a sign which said : WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK. Malcolm said to me that my work will change now. I can study living dinosaurs, not the bones of dead one.

Me and Ellie met Malcolm, Regis, Gennaro, Nedry and Hammond again in the Visitors Center. They went into a room where there was an exhibition. There was a model of tyrannosaurus rex. Hammond and his scientist will tell me that everything works well here. Perhaps we will learn a lot more about dinosaurs now.

He is a millionaire and he is the owner of Jurassic Park. He also the owner of Isla Nublar, in Costa Rica. And i also likes childrens. 

Wednesday : Snakewater, Montana, USA. The hot sun shone on the hills and rock. I was knelling on the ground brushing dust away from a tiny bone. It was a bone from dinosaurs 75 millions ago. Before John Hammond invited me, a man from Environmental Protection Agency come to me. And he ask me about Hammond. I just answer it honestly. His name is Bob Morris.

Bob Morris ask me about John Hammond give me some money. And I just say yes, he gives us about $30.000 a year for our work on dinosaurs. John Hammond invited me to come to his island. And I can’t wait to see his island…
