Mayo – Music to Our Ears

Magical Loreto Bay
Magical Loreto Bay
The road south from Santa Rosalía to Loreto passes through absolutely magnificent scenery, particularly along Bahía Concepción on the stretch of coastal road between Mulegé and Cadegé. Numerous sandy beaches sported informal RV parks and camps with a sleepy yet…
Two People in a Prius for a Year
Two People in a Prius for a Year
“Wow, a year-long road trip visiting America’s national parks? Sounds awesome! The trip of a lifetime!” That was the reaction we often got from people before, during and after our project celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service…
A Royally Good Time on Isle Royale
A Royally Good Time on Isle Royale
For anyone wanting to really get away from it all, it’s hard to beat the remote Isle Royale National Park in northern Lake Superior. Isle Royale takes a bit of advance planning and logistical decision-making, but it is well worth…
Acadia: The Maine Attraction
Acadia: The Maine Attraction
Tucked up in Maine across the Atlantic from Nova Scotia, Acadia National Park is a coastal delight. Upon arrival late in the afternoon, we made our way to the Blackwoods Campground on the southern end of Mount Desert Island, the…
Singling Out Dingle

Singling Out Dingle

In a country like Ireland — which has nearly 2,000 miles of stunning coastline, roads that twist and turn their way through green hills that sweep down to the sea, and one adorable hamlet after another — it’s hard to…

More to Love on Inishmore

We left Galway for a quick side trip to Inishmore — the largest of the Aran Islands out in the Atlantic just beyond the mouth of Galway Bay — for an overnight stay. We had packed just a few things in…

Surf and Turf in Western Ireland

Surf and Turf in Western Ireland

Another marvelous drive is the scenic route south of Westport, “through the twisting, turning, winding roads of Galway and Mayo” (as sung by our favorite Irish band, the Saw Doctors). Even on a cloudy day, driving past the “stone walls…

Hiker Haven in Donegal

Hiker Haven in Donegal

As we continued our counterclockwise road trip of Ireland, more dramatic scenery awaited us in Donegal, the northwestern-most county in the Irish Republic. Although it’s somewhat off the beaten tourist path, we found it the perfect place to get out…

Coastal Delights and Derry Sights

Coastal Delights and Derry Sights

From Larne we continued north, enjoying the highly scenic Antrim Coast and the Glens of Antrim — a series of nine glens, or valleys, from which streams flow down toward the sea, with a tidy town at each inlet surrounded…

Enchanted by the Emerald Isle

Enchanted by the Emerald Isle

The big blue marble we call home is full of picturesque, charming, compelling places to visit, but one of my absolute favorites is Ireland. Back in 2015, Hector and I spent an all-too-brief two weeks circling this enchanting island by…

The End of the Road in Ensenada

The End of the Road in Ensenada

Seeking Gray Whales in Guerrero Negro

Seeking Gray Whales in Guerrero Negro

No trip to the Baja Peninsula would be complete without at least one whale-watching excursion, and we chose the small town of Guerrero Negro at the far northern end of the state of Baja California Sur for a boat trip…

Miscalculations in Mulegé

Leaving Los Cabos, we pointed the car north for the return drive along the Baja California Peninsula, planning to explore Mulegé, a small coastal town we had zipped past on our way south but made a mental note to return…
