Saturday it is! I'm feeling quite relaxed being able to sleep 10 hours!

I was able to keep myself distracted for most of the day. Until the evening came and I was again feeling really down and I felt like wailing. Thanks to reason, I was able to just cry silently, experience taught me that crying too much always ends up with a bad headache.

And so I was engrossed with nursing my emotional self and realized I haven't posted for the A-Z April Challenge today. Whoa! It's almost 11PM, good I noticed I still have an hour before the day ends!

So here it is, W is for Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Located in the old city of Jerusalem, that was listed as a UNESCO WHS in 1981, it is one of the most recognized religious site by the Jewish fate. It is a site for prayer and pilgrimage, with approximately 1.5 million visitors each year.

PS. For curious readers as to why I feel like wailing, it's vaguely explained in my "R" post. Not really worth visiting though, just me releasing emotions. Please just enjoy the postcards instead.
