Chinese food in Germany

I took Baby on her first trip across the border to Germany today! She was part of a ladies-who-lunch group who met for a special meal of Dim Sum at a Chinese restaurant. I know... when you think of Germany, you think Dim Sum, right? Anyway, the woman who organized the lunch knows the owner of this restaurant and he prepared a special menu for her friends (that's us). It was very good and a welcome change from Swiss cuisine. As usual, Baby was the social butterfly and loved being passed around to be held by all the ladies.

Unfortunately, because the authorities don't often ask for your passport at the border crossings, Baby does not yet have a German stamp in her passport to add to her collection which so far includes Spain and the Netherlands. Italy is next for her!

As you can see, it's another beautiful fall day in Basel. The sun is shining and maybe I should have Baby wearing some sunglasses!
