Strolling in Bonn on Saturday

Here's us in front of the statue of Beethoven. He was born a few blocks away in 1770. Note the small white thing on the grass at lower-right: that's a flower, happily growing away in January. Today was about +9 degrees and sunny. Lots of folks strolling around.
Typical houses in the market area. Shops on the first floor selling all sorts of stuff. 

Another square: the building has been decorated to look like a giant gingerbread house as part of the Christmas festivities (hence the large Christmas tree as well). I bought a nice shirt at H&M and we went for lunch at a typical German guesthouse/hotel. Thankfully the waiter was from California and we could order food with no surprises. Little Arianne was the centre of attention with her big googly eyes attracting warm smiles from passerby.
