Trump's son-in-law Michael Boulos enjoys rainy houseboat ride in Alappuzha
Michael Boulos is a businessman who is married to Tiffany Trump, the daughter of the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
On Saturday, he surprised everyone by visiting Alappuzha, a city in Kerala, India.
It was raining very heavily, but he still went on a relaxing boat ride on the famous backwaters.
He came with a group of eight other people, and many police officers were there to keep him safe.
He was treated as a special guest by the government of Kerala.
Water from the rain had flooded the usual place where boats start, so police found another spot to begin the ride.
People in Alappuzha got excited when they heard he was visiting, and he waved to them from the boat.
His trip happened just before a big boat race called the Nehru Trophy Boat Race on August 22.
He was expected to go back to Kochi later that same day.
Michael Boulos, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, made a surprise visit to Alappuzha on Saturday amid heavy monsoon rains.
Treated as a State Guest in Kerala, he took a houseboat ride through the rain-lashed backwaters with an eight-member delegation.
Flooding at Punamada Lake's main entrance forced Kerala Police to use an alternative location to launch the houseboat.
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor welcomed him on X, saying 'Welcome back to India @MichaelZBoulos!'.
The visit comes days before the Nehru Trophy Boat Race on August 22, where Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is expected to be chief guest.
