After becoming sick with the vomits Friday night, R was quarantined for a day while the younger sister ventured to a Halloween party complete with pumpkin carving, yummy sugary treats and US party favors. The sweet lady hosting the party had recently been to "the base" where apparently there are 3 American stores. One happens to be a grocery store where people related to the armed forces can purchase American food and various holiday items at American Dollar prices - with American money! (There is actually a bank machine there for people to get cash out because they only accept American dollars.) Anyone with "base access" is quick to become a friend to many here. They are envied because the rest of us pay way too much for things like, oh, let's say, Krispy Kreme doughnuts (for one example), brownie mixes, Skittles (if you can even find these items!), the list goes on and on.
Anyway, all of that is beside the big point of the day. We happened to look outside the window and see the beautifully lit up rainbow which then became two! R couldn't believe his eyes...he'd never seen two rainbows at the same time!
