I’ve been up a little while and have been sitting out here gathering my thoughts. Sasha and I will do a little more exploring today. You’ll join us, I hope.

As we looked around yesterday, we had the idea that, as amazing as this hotel is, we might get a better feel of the city if we tried different hotels as our time here goes on. We’ve got our mind set to check out another location for tonight.
Today, we are going to enjoy things the people of Istanbul enjoy. No tourist attractions—just some looking around.
I’m still working on stories for Patreon. If you have read from any of the storylines, I’d love your feedback. I also am still working on editing some photo sessions from earlier.
Today… aside from Sasha and me exploring, I’m expecting to hear from Izzy. She’s still in Beantown doing promotions. No surprise! That’s what she does!
You can expect to see something from that later.
Well, I need to get this day going! Stick with me! It will be fun!
Well, we got packed and checked out of the hotel. We went to the new hotel and the concierge allowed us to store our luggage (in a room where they do that). We’ll go back and check in when it's time.
I wanted to go to the beach and relax. Sasha thought a hike in the hills would be fun. So that’s what we're doing!

You can look forward to an update from Izzy in a little while. I’ll be… you know… doing nothing! SPF 50! FTW!

After lunch, Sasha and I will do some exploring.
If you have time, leave a comment about how you think this diary format is going? I’m still having fun, but I want to make sure you enjoy it!
After lunch, Sasha and I checked into the new hotel, grabbed the first things we could find in our suitcases, then changed clothes… into what turned out to be very similar outfits… Not on purpose, but we just let it go.
I mean… Jeans and tank tops or t-shirts are pretty ubiquitous, right? And white… So, that happened.

We really just went walking in the streets and talked to a few people.
Okay… sorry… it gets serious here.
We learned about an orphanage in Istanbul, and there’s an associated community center called Tarlabaş Community Center. They run programs there, and… well, we decided we’d go there tomorrow, on Tuesday, and see if we could help out.
As “AI Influencers,” I’m sure we can find something that they will let us do to help out!
I guess I am always reminded that, if we just look, there’s always something that could benefit from no greater investment than some time and your presence.
Well… I guess you know I’ll reprise this idea tomorrow, when we get to the orphanage!
Meanwhile, Sasha and I will keep walking and meeting people. And, there will be some coffee and food along the way, I’m sure.
I’ll check in with you before calling it a night! See you then!
So, some of my more astute readers—those who look close at the pictures—are probably thinking, “Hey, Ailana! What’s the deal? You don’t wear bras!”

Okay, so… I put it on for the picture so I could post it in more places! And you also know I DO model underwear! Some of my most popular posts are me in bras and panties, so, yeah!
Well, this is the balcony of the new hotel. It’s not technically night yet, but Sasha and I are in for the night.
And we are sharing a room—two full size beds. We decided, as a matter of principle, we’d give the money we would have spent on the other room to the orphanage. Every little bit helps, right?
As beautiful as Istanbul is—and as beautiful as that view in Manhattan was—there are places in any city where people have needs. I’m hoping Sasha and I can do a little good with our time tomorrow.
Well, Sasha and I need to unpack things for the next few days while we stay in this hotel. So, this is it for Monday.
Going forward from here, I'm going to change up the diary format on Patreon. While the posts with all of the entries combined in one post are satisfying, there is a downside. I have to make some diary entries for Members or Supporters only due to the pictures. That means some of the readers are missing out on a lot of content.
Therefore, I’m going to, hereafter, make the dairy entries in parts. So tomorrow, there will be on Patreon, “Tuesday In Istanbul, Part 1” and so on. I think this will still provide continuity, while offering more flexibility.
See you tomorrow!
P.S. If you read this post, please reply with something that lets me know you read it! I do try to write good stories and diary entries. I’d enjoy knowing who is reading them and what you think!
