Valientes!!!

My daily schedule has become welcoming-ly steady. Arrive at work at 9:30, work all day with a wonderful home-cooked lunch around 2pm, work-out/see friends/do yoga/go to capoiera, head home for dinner and lastly, the highlight, Valientes!

My host family is addicted to Valientes, a muy muy popular Argentine telenovela based in Buenos Aires. We sit down together all eyes glued to the TV from 10-11pm M-Thurs. no talking allowed. The premise is silly and predictable (think bad day-time television) - 3 hermanos and 3 hermanas, fairly self-explanatory. But of course, I love it! I look forward to watching it everyday. Hilariously, all of the host families are hooked too, and the other interns and I discuss the show all of the time - catching each other up on missed episodes, reviewing the plot to make sure we understood the Spanish, fighting over which brother is hotter, etc, etc.

This picture says it all:
