Danica and Osaz Ali from Hatta

After shopping in the Grand Bazzar, we stopped for apple tea at this small outside cafe'. Ali was a genial host and the only male who wore his traditional dress the entire time. This served him very well in Istanbul as all of the vendors assumed that he was a fabulously wealthy sheikh. His English was very good and he loved to tell his colleagues to "chill out" whenever they got excited.
