A Turkish Delight





































I could have shopped all day, I could have shopped all night, and still have begged for more! My highlight of Turkey... the Grand Bazaar, a kaleidoscope of sight, sound and colour. The jewelry, the rugs, the spice containers lining the great hallways. And everywhere, people running to and fro... the 'tea boys' delivering countless cups of tea in small glass cups to shop owners. I marveled at their coordination as they balanced tea cups on round silver trays.  But wait, these serving trays dangled by a chain from their hand and nary a drop was spilled as they raced about the hallways of the bazaar bringing tea and cleaning up used tea cups. No Tim's here!
