I think the statue man with the pipe is a linen-maker -- Bielefeld had a major linen industry back in the day (and bike parts were their other specialty, I was told.)
Coke has a market campaign here with "personalized" bottles. Of course, since I don't have a typical German name, they didn't have one for me, but I think I located an adequate substitute (bottom photo). :)
Tomorrow and Saturday are full conference days, and the conference center is up on a hill away from anything else (beautiful views, though) -- so my sightseeing is at an end for a while.
Mike reports that the boys have been having a great Independence Day at Cousin Daniel's, playing in the water at the botanical gardens and in Daniel's back yard. :) Hope you have all had a happy 4th!
