The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. July 7, 2013. Canyons: Rattlesnake, Antelope, Red and Bryce. Day 8 23 June 2013. Íde shot this picture and showed it to the other woman. She wanted the shot. Íde had to show her the exact place and angle of the shot. One twist of light changes the shot. But we love the vibrant blue of this photo. Like Grand Canyon, even though we got some great photos, there is just no describing the experience. Here is a small sample of our photos:. Address...

The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. July 30, 2013. Mariposa to San Francisco. Day 18: 3 July 2013. Fan, but could not see Erik Estrada anywhere. We crossed the tolled but extremely impressive Bay Bridge into SF. This has two levels with the top leading into SF and the bottom leading out. It is also in two sections with an island in the middle. And this isn’t even SF’s famous bridge! For tomorrow’s return by filling it up and cleaning it out. No driving for three days! Leave a ...

The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. July 16, 2013. Mammoth Lakes to Groveland via Tioga Pass and Yosemite. Day 14: 29 June 2013. Only 118 miles to cover today – if there are no distractions! Of course it does entail massive altitude changes. Again! Altitude changes on our Las Vegas to Yosemite trip. Carrantuohill in Kerry is the highest peak in Ireland and it is 3,406 ft (1,038 metres for those of us on the metric) high. We descend to Mono Lake: 6,383 ft / 1,946 m. Most people...

The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. July 28, 2013. Slán Red Tail, Hi Yosemite. Day 17: 2 July 2013. Dragging ourselves away from Red Tail Ranch we take the 43 mile drive that Kevin has recommended into Yosemite Valley. Our National Parks pass got some use yet again – will this be the last time out for our trusty pass, we wonder. We saw the Bridalveil Falls, Yosemite Falls, Half Dome, El Capitan. And Tunnel View on the way. Pádraig ag Eas Yosemite. The imposing El Capitan.

The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. July 14, 2013. LV to Lone Pine Record breaking Highs and Lows. Day 12: 27 June 2013. 248 miles from Las Vegas to Lone Pine via Death Valley. Altitude changing a few times from 282 feet below. To 5,000 above. And then there’s the temperature! So we are not going to reinvent the wheel. We will provide our own experience on the bits of this that we followed and we thank them for their excellent suggestions. It took 20 mules to haul the minerals...

Differences between USA & Ireland | the de Burca family on our worldwide travels
https://deburcaontour.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/differences-between-usa-ireland
The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. June 28, 2013. Differences between USA & Ireland. OK so both countries speak English, despite my best efforts as a pusher of the Gaeilge. And we Irish are very familiar with American tropes from TV and movies (I mean. Indeed one of the inspirations for this 4 state road trip is our apparent familiarity with our two countries divided by a common language (our own Shaw, I think). But there are differences as well oh yes! Americans drive on par...

The de Burca family on our worldwide travels. About us / Fúinn. July 16, 2013. Day 14-16: 29 June-1 July 2013. We LOVED this place. Too be honest, the experience is in some ways like what we said of the Grand Canyon you just have to experience it for yourself! Deborah and Kevin are just wonderful people and gracious hosts. They are in tune and in love with the environment. The ranch just oozes love and peace, from the hosts, to the animals, the trees, the birds and the stars. Oh the stars! So anyway, if ...
