A large delegation from Decatur flew to Seevetal in 2023. A wonderful time was had by all as we toured Seevetal, visited a historical museum, enjoyed a lavish reception, toured Hamburg by bus and boat, and attended lively musical performances. In addition, we visited an organic lettuce farm and an apple orchard. Our hosts were amazing!
