About cindy knoke

I retired early after 27 years as a psychotherapist/mental health director (Cindy Barton LCSW) and moved to the outer limits of no-wheres-ville to a home I call "the holler." My closest neighbors are coyotes (packs and packs of them and they are HUNGRY), rattlers (lots and lots of them and they are MEAN), and free range cows/bulls (the bulls aren't too friendly either!) Forget cell phones. They don't work out here. Forget GPS, it misdirects. It's best not to wander too much out here, the people (and their dogs) are kinda twitchy. To reach the holler your turn right at the reeking chicken farm, down a bunch of pot-holed semi-streets/dirt roads, past the abandoned refrigerators and occupied old RV’s and then things get kinda dicey. My friends usual reaction to the trip to the holler is, “you’ve got to be kidding!” Or, “Next time let’s meet half way.” This is our little bit of heavenly Appalachia right here in rural California. I blog about traveling which I do about three months a year, cooking which I love, photography, usually of my food and trips, books, holler happenings, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Stop by the blog and take a peek. It’s safe. I promise. Cheers, Cindy

    • In Buenos Aires we stayed at the Sofitel Arroyo (VERY nice). In El Calafate (town near Los Glaciares Parque Nacionale) we are staying at the lovely Los Sauces, owned by the President of Brazil allegedly. In Ushuaia for the Beagle Channel and the Pampas we will be staying at Los Cuaquenes. You can google these places and check them out at tripadvisor. We haven’t gotten to the third hotel yet, but the first two were wonderful. This would be an awesome honeymoon & congrajulations! We fly inside Argentina from place to place on Aerolinas Argentinas (inexpensive). We have a rental car in El Calafate, but no where else. Hope this helps & cheers!
