Kent: Nice!  It's hot in Brig too
Kent:  By far the warmest day of the trip
Kent:  Windy, and it appears the weather is getting worse
Kent:  Hard to find a decent hotel near here for under $200 (Saturday), so gonna head up to saas grund again
Kent:  If weather settles, there should be something for me to do
Kent:  I need a good rest day and bring in a familiar nice environment will be good
Kent:  :)   I've enjoyed sitting in this grassy park for the past hour
Kent:  Stuff that came over the simplon pass was stored in this building
