Bali indonesia images pictures

Bali Island / March 17, 2017

Former POTUS Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama hit the Ayung River on the island of Bali for some rafting Monday. The Obama family, including Malia and Sasha, are currently enjoying some downtime in Indonesia. The family arrived Friday, the Associated Press reported.

Obama, who's set to appear at the Indonesian Diaspora Congress in Jakarta in July, was invited to vacation in the area by Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo after leaving the White House. During their trip, the Obamas are also expected to visit the presidential Bogor Palace in West Java. As a child, Obama spent several years in Indonesia after his mother married an Indonesian man.

As is typically the case whenever we see photos of Obama enjoying himself post-presidency, these rafting images have elicited sheer joy on social media:

I don’t care what anybody says to me this is America’s Royal family.

Look! A wonderful family doing wonderful family things! Contrast with the Trump 'family' who appear to barely tolerate each other.
SAD!

Good for them! Best POTUS and FLOTUS ever.

"One of the best endorsements you can get in marketing is from celebrities, " Indonesia Tourism Minister Arief Yahya told the Jakarta Post of Obama's visit, which is expected to give tourism a noticeable boost. "They could be an artist or a political figure, and Obama is an international figure. It will have a positive impact."
