Day 42: Destinos: The Story
I am almost half way through Destinos. It is amazing how much Spanish you can pick up by watching these episodes. The story itself is pretty bad. A rich family inexplicably hires a lawyer named Raquel Rodriguez to travel the world looking for lost long relatives. Raquel learns about the culture of each country she visits while she constantly encounters drama, death, and romance. Yet she still has time to stop along the way to count fruit and name her articles of clothing. It is like the Spanish version of a really bad soap opera combined with Sesame Street for adults and a special on the Travel Channel. Very bizarre. But still I have learned a lot so I continue on.
Check out a few minutes of an episode if you want to see what I am enduring:

You made me laugh out loud….I was watching an episode of Destinos when I was suddenly struck by the urge to google “the bizarre world of Destinos”…your link came up halfway down the page. “Yet she still has time to stop along the way to count fruit and name her articles of clothing”…I love it! Best quip ever!
