I spent most of last week in Wrocław, the city in Poland where I was born and
where my sister still lives with her husband. In contrast with my previous
visit there, in October 2020, the weather was beautiful this time, and my
daughter and I spent a lot of time walking around the city. For her it was
especially interesting since she had not been there since she was a little
girl, 6 or 7 years old (she is now 27). I took lots of pictures, and there will
be in particular a separate collection of Polish modern art that we saw, as
well as my usual people-and-detail oriented weekly blog, when the time comes.
But here is a gallery of the city itself, as we saw it during those four days:

Wrocław is a much changed city, compared to when I lived there as a small boy
in the 1960s or even compared to my visits there in the 1990s and 2000s. While
hints of Communist-era drabness are still there, it is now very much a modern,
vibrant and international city of 700,000 people on Poland's western edge.
As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
