First Lady Michelle Obama and her youngest daughter, Sasha, are certainly enjoying their mother-daughter trip to Spain. Reportedly, Mrs. Obama and Sasha had lunch with Spain's King and Queen on the country's largest resort island, Majorca, located in the Mediterranean sea, which is part of the Balearic Islands archipelago.
King Juan Carlos I (pictured above), who has been the country's head of state since 1975, hosted the First Lady along with his wife, Queen Sofia, and daughter-in-law Princess Letizia at the Marivent palace.
The lunch menu was one that was indeed fit for a king and First Lady: Andalusian-style chilled gazpacho soup, chargrilled turbot, veal escalopes with mustard, Oriental rice with sauteed mushrooms, a Majorca-style vegetable ratatouille and sliced fruit with ice cream, accompanied by wines from the northern regions of Rueda and Rioja.
The lunch was the culmination of a private five-day mother-daughter trip that Mrs. Obama planned for herself and Sasha. The two visited historical and breathtaking popular tourist sites in the southern region of Andalusia, including Marbella, Ronda and the Alhambra palace in Granada.
Unfortunately, the Obama's oldest daughter, Malia, was away at summer camp and could not accompany her mom and sister. President Obama, who just celebrated a birthday a few days ago, had to tend to fund-raising events for his party. The President also spent a few kick-back days at his own home in the Hyde Park section of Chicago.
After lunch, King Juan Carlos gave Mrs. Obama some seeds for her garden while the Queen showered her with crafts that depict Spanish culture.
The Obamas left the country on Air Force One afterward.

What a wonderful image! Our beautiful first lady and charming Sasha representing us in Spain. I think all the criticism about the trip is totally ridiculous and it speaks volumes about how provincial Americans can be. What if the people in Spain criticizd their first lady for visiting out of the country. What kind of message would that send to the rest of the world - that our leaders or their wives are only to travel within the U.S. Once again Americans look like idiots to the rest of the world. Queen Rania of Jordan is always traveling outside the country and her country benefits from her ambassadorship. Maureen Dowd wrote a terrible article in the New York Times about our First Lady and the trip. I guess she thinks that Michelle Obama should always be under the President's armpits and should not go anywhere without him. That witch needs to get a life. She's obviously jealous of Michelle Obama and cannot contain her envy. I'm sure Ms. Dowd has been out of the country a lot herself yet, Michelle Obama can't go anywhere. Maureen Dowd is a pitiful excuse of a journalist.
I think nowadays, wife of U.S. Rshtrpti as one of them wants to make his identity for which she also friendly relations with other countries is making ...
When will this end Ronald Reagan, and Nancy did travel during that ressison this clearly about hate and racist in America. All first ladies take vacations, Hillary Clinton took, Chelsa to India.
