Until 1945 it was known by its German name of Breslau. Since the Middle Ages, it has been a melting pot of Poles, Germans, Czechs and Jews, as wonderfully described by the British historian Norman Davies in his book ?Microcosm - Portrait of a Central European City?. It is the city where I was born and where my sister still lives. Tuesday was her birthday, so my wife and I went there for a few days, taking advantage of the direct Ryanair flight from Alicante. The city is changing rapidly, it is one of the booming parts of the New Europe. But there are still many reminders of the Communist past and indeed of the German past before that. I used to not think much of this place, but recent visits, and especially this one, have given me an appreciation of the vibrancy and vitality of this city. Here is a small sample of what the place looks like: http://www.frozenlight.eu/wroclaw2015 As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
