House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took time out from bashing Donald Trump and warning of the rise of China on Thursday to hop aboard a punt - a flat bottomed boat - for a sightseeing trip through Cambridge, England.
Her day included joking about former President Trump with Cambridge University students before heading to London and a meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
But she was also spotted floating down the River Cam, propelled gently by a 'punter' wielding a pole, with her husband beside her.
Video shot by a passerby, shows businessman Paul Pelosi snapping photographs with his phone as they drifted under Magdalene Bridge as their hosts from the Cambridge Union keep up a running commentary.
They could have been any other couple on a sightseeing jaunt were it not for the detachment of broad-shouldered men in suits making up her security detail.
