At the Simplon Pass

This is an old picture, from April, when we went to the Simplon Pass (2005 m above sea level) in the canton of Valais/Wallis. Shown here is the Hospice du Simplon/Simplon Hospiz. In English, think of the archaic version of "hospice": a lodging for travelers, esp. one run by a religious order (Source OED).

I'm going to take a break from blogging because of personal reasons. Hope to see you back here before too long.
