Day 42: Jena (Germany)

August 2, 1931

During the dinner I met a very nice man, his name is Benno. We have gone out to dinner a few times, he has invited me back to his family's estate instead of staying at the hotel I am in right now. I find him very interesting, he is very quiet but intimidating from his size. I found out he is studying to be a businessman and is planning on taking over his father's business. He gave me time to think and yesterday evening when we went out for dinner, I told him I would accept his offer. Tomorrow we are leaving to drive to his family estat. I am quite excited to go because it is off in the countryside, this will be the first time I will get to see what the quite side of Germany is like. The estate is near Rhine.

He says I would love it there; it's quiet and historic. Apparently his family has owned the land for decades. His great-grandfather bought the land in his late years. I am pleased to here it has some history, who knows I may find some hidden passageways or some dark secrets of the past. I will write more after I have settled in his home and have more to write about.
