condoms and tacos (not in that order)

As you know, HIV/AIDS is quite widespread here. The governemnt is making a huge effort to curb the spread and provinding free condoms at many places-like as you leave the grocery store, in the post office, etc. However, according to the young adults at my home, there is so much shame around actually taking them...and once they mentioned that to me, I've noticed all the boxes of free condoms are nearly full!

so, every wehre I go I grab a handful and pop them in my bag and told the young adults. So last night we were all in the kitchen and one of the boys (21 years old or so) asked me for condoms and then his older sister said, "me too, me too!" For some reason this excited me to no end and felt as if I was a public service announcment!

As I said, we were all in the kitchen because all the girls and myself were making tacos for dinner. I found some Old ElPaso taco shells in the capital city last week and brouht them here...and it was a hit! We also made rice and beans! Oh, what a night...and we watched the best of Michael Jackson...
