Ima's Summer Travels: a Berlin Mystery

1910
From Galveston to Bremen
via “Hanover” N.G.L.

       Sailed June 30th arrived July 18, 1910.
A most pleasant voyage with a very jolly, and interesting number of passengers.
       This time I am attempting to “conduct” a party--of two--Mike and myself. So far we have not gotten on the wrong train, our tickets have been good, and nothing outside the experiences Mike and I create for ourselves has occurred
       Our tickets, second class, from Berlin to London were $18.00 apiece.
A short account of our trip would be as follows:

       Left Berlin Sunday [July 31] 10:55 A.M.

A “short account, indeed! This brief notation s all we get about the ten days she and Mike spent in Berlin.

Ima Hogg had lived there for nearly a year, from November 1907 until October 1908.

WHY DOES SHE NOT RECORD THEIR BERLIN VISIT IN THIS DIARY?
