In those days there was only coco-cola in small 5cents bottles, and that was
banned from the shrine, bcoz they woudnt sell their own "holy water". In any
case I took the same train back (those were special trains with about 10
passenger wagon - going back and forth). Yep "La belle province" (it says
so on our licence plate) was something in those days. Cheers
