Day 3: I was intrigued by the ruins in the Restricted Area yesterday, so I went back and explored. I thought I got a little turned around, but I managed to find my bearings once more. There's really not much left there. So I hopped in a Jeep and drove to the Raptor Arena. I was more than a little disappointed to see, giant, featherless creatures instead of the Velociraptor that wouldv'e existed during the Cretaceous. The intelligence of the raptors was incredible, far greater than I've ever seen in a dinosaur. There's a program that Masrani started called IBRIS, and he put this guy Owen Grady in charge. Owen, despite some character flaws, really seems to know what he's doing.

I headed back to the Creation Lab inside the Innovation Center to check on the Carchars, which are doing great, by the way, and also to give Doctor Wu some ideas about why the raptors weren't quite right. He showed me an email from him to Masrani a few years back, concerning his featherless raptors. He can't crack the code.

Anyway, I spent some time wandering the Main Street, walking in and out of souvenir shops. I saw a display along the wall which got me thinking about something. I'll ask Wu again tomorrow. I don't want to inconvenience him too much. Zara slept in til' noon, and by the time she was ready to eat it was already four in the afternoon. So we got a pizza and went back to the room to watch a movie. I don't remember what it was called, but it was really corny and had almost no plot, but it didn't hold my interest, or Zara's. We wanted to kill some time, so she suggested the Petting Zoo, the only thing she hadn't ever seen. So we took a stroll over there, and it was surprisingly really cool and a little bit relaxing. We grabbed dinner and headed back to our room. I'm planning to sheck out the Mosasaur tomorrow.
