1. Gawd, she looks like a fashion model, next to a

fashion model. But we all know she's a Harvard educated lawyer with much to her credit as a career woman and mother of two daughters.

I love those pictures!

I want to know who helps her pick out such lovely outfits. Lots of black in the last day or two. I must admit, she looks good in anything, but I like her in colors better than black. Just a personal preference.

2. Cute jacket and it looks like she and Carla Bruni are getting along

very well. Too bad they havd to cancel the hospital visit due to security concerns.

3. Do we know whether O and M have visited Europe before?

If not, what a first trip! Hope they have a chance to enjoy, and they're surely want to return for vacations!

4. Barack had been to Europe before, in his student days, and

of course, last summer in Berlin, somewhere in France, and London.

As for Michelle, I have no idea, but she had been practicing law since the early 90's, and perhaps they both had gone there before back before Barack was elected to the Senate.

10. They visited when they attended his eldest sister's wedding in Britain. nt

22. Depends on the events, I'd say.

'Kids' could become seriously bored, depending on what's happening; been there done that, both ways, as a kid and a parent. Hopefully they'll have enough time as First Family to take advantage of GROWING youngsters, along with growing interests.

14. The luckiest guy in Strasburg is Joachim Sauer..

26. I love there is no competition

between these women. No one tries to upstage the other. Yesterday Carla was understated, today, Michelle. They are all so gorgeous and brilliant. This could possibly be the beginning of the golden age for women...my lips to the Goddess' ear.
