I love the casual look on Felipe. He's always seemingly impeccibly attired, it's nice to see him relaxed

I think they look great: relaxed and kind of sexy.

I read an article that said the people in the town that went to greet them all said they both look better in real life than in pictures. But the funniest part of the day? Some local carpenter showed up with a gift--carved by his very own hands--for the newly wed prince and princess: a baby crib!

They are in Asturias--at Letizia's grandparents--apparently spending a couple of days hiking in the beautiful Pico de Europas mountains before leaving for the Dominican Republic for the presidential inauguration. (Goodness, they really do get photographed all the time. They must get tired of it. But I'll keep posting.)

Leaving for an excursion today:

It's nice that they turned and smiled to the photographers though. Although it probably does get annoying being photographed all the time, I like the fact that they are accepting it as part of their "job" and not running into the house with a newspaper over their heads or something silly like that.

The Principes de Asturias had a second day of mountain excursions in which, according to the article I read, with the help of their security detail, they managed to "escape" the paparazzis (have I become an online paparazzi?) and went to a pretty remote mountain for some hiking. On the way back to Sardeu (where Letizia's grandparents live) they apparently delighted a small mountain town by stopping into one of the local bars for some local food and drink. According to the article they were delightful, and warmly greeted all the locals who wished to greet them. When they first arrived the bar man apparently said something to the effect of: Listen, I don't know anything about protocal, so, if it's all right with you I won't use the formal "usted" and I will just use the informal "tu"--to which the Prince and princess smiled. The locals did, however, leave them alone as they stood in the corner of the bar enjoying the local drink, talking quitely between themselves and, according to one witness, "constantly giving each other cariñotas (gestures of affection)", "it gave me great joy," this woman continued, "to see how much they love each other." The Prince tried to pay the bill, the barman refused his money, and they left with a "we'll return one day" to the delight of the bar owner.

Back at Grandma's house:

Letizia realized when she married that this was part of the deal. They seem to work harder than all other CP couples. They seem to foster goodwill with whatever they do.

I really wish Felipe would shave the beard. I think he is so much more handsome without it! Vamos guapo!

Mascha · Aug 14, 2004

I think the beard makes him look a little older,without it he is such a boy!

Interesting tidbit--apparently the government of Asturias has offered to find and make available to Felipe and Letizia an official vacation residence in Asturias--just as Palma did years ago for Juan Carlos and Sofia.

(Oh yeah, and Hola is on the pregnancy bandwagon again.)
