Home Away From Home


Legnica is where Karolina was born and where her mother's family continues to live. There's a massive supply of copper under the city which is what put it on the map and made it a prosperous city hundreds of years ago. More recently, it was one of the biggest Russian settlements after WW2. There's a big graveyard here honouring the Soviet soldiers who "liberated" the city near the end of the war. It's a nice change of pace here especially because of the family connection.
