lake toba at sunset, sitting around while herding away all the mosquitos and seeping the dusk breeze…what a wonder it is to be able to sit, and enjoy the moment.

while a certain other significant being was splashing around the in *according to him* refreshingly cold water of Lake Toba, i rather feel contented sitting by the pier, trying to perch my camera somewhere steady to get a snapshot. 

hmm…..then of course my moment of solitude came to an end when someone came out dripping and shivering from the lake…hm, not very much like a mermaid, or…hm…merman?? but quite a cute immitation, except for the pink towel from the cottage wrapped around him.
