I am starting to prepare for my trip to Jena, Germany next week, so am thinking about some of the things I want to do while I am in Jena.

One of my weekend plans is to visit the trendglas Jena store and buy some more glass. I have my eye on a few items there.

I will also visit TeeGschwendner to see what new teas they have, or perhaps just buy some more of my favorite oolong teas.

I will visit the Kartoffelhaus a few times and have some of my favorite dishes.

A Birnen Phane at Restauration Stilbruch is also in the plans. It is nice to go to a place where some of my favorite restaurants are.

I will also be having a meal at Roter Hirsch. This is one of the oldest restaurants in the world. See: Old Restaurant

I may get lucky and meet up with a couple of men that I shared a meal with when I was last there. See: Sharing a Table

I also plan on visiting the grave of Carl Zeiss when I am there. This is a tradition for me whenever I visit Jena, as Zeiss started the company I work for back in 1846.

Now to just finish off a busy week and spend some time this weekend getting ready to travel.
