After a very busy Saturday , the participants were given the opportunity to see Hamburg on Sunday with the AWCH guides . Even the gloomy weather failed to make the city unattractive .
One group took an early morning visit to the lively Hamburg fish market with Stephanie Matlock Allen and Sara Naumann . Holly Todd , an accomplished art historian , led a group through the Hamburger Kunsthalle to tour the exhibition Impressionism : German- French Encounters . And Jordan Beck Wagner gave an insightful walking tour of the beautiful Speicherstadt , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Those that arrived early visited the famous Miniatur Wunderland train museum on Friday afternoon .
Time flew by , as it does at all FAWCO events . However , Region 5 stands proudly as the region that has the most fun , and we had guests from many other regions that prove that point . The members of our region are more than FAWCO members — we have become friends and look forward to seeing each other once a year at this annual event .
Next year , the AWC Berlin will be the host of our meeting in honor of that club ’ s hundredth anniversary . Let us know if you ’ d like to join the AWCH contingent !
