Diane was our first official guest in Medan since arriving back in Indonesia.  Unfortunately her visit coincided with Aceh's first local elections, so Sean had to go to Aceh on her second day in Medan.  Cheech was secretly thrilled to have Diane to herself.  We drove up to Lake Toba, passing Brastagi and exploring the surroundings.  We got to pick our favorite fruit: strawberries!  We kept trying to out do each by picking the most and the biggest strawberries.  Though we didn't get to see as much as we would have liked, we enjoyed each other's company and had fun chatting and gossiping!  We also discussed where we should go on our next tour so we can be together!  Back in Medan, we enjoyed the services of Cheech's regular

spa.  The shopping was less enjoyable but the disappointment was covered by watching the new James Bond movie, Casino Royal, afterward.  We miss you already, Di!
