65. My Dad and my grandmother drank tequila in Mexico. I was obviously under age, nor was I interested

But apparently you're only able to bring one bottle of booze through customs, so I was given one to bring - I think it was gin.

But I really liked the food! And at least I knew what it was. My grandmother loved to travel. She joined a peace group that had a "sister town" in the then-USSR - and invited me to go with her. On the way there we stopped in Finland, beautiful country with really nice people. And they fed us. But I could not make heads or tails what anything was!
