Strange story in my campo.
A youngish american was visting a finca ( brugal ), on the back of a pasola driven by " a tourist guide".
While driving through the finca he jumped off, stumbled through barbed wire and took to the mountains......
Kind of incredible.
The gringo ( lets call him gringo, because they say american, but everyone is american to my fellow campisinos ), was ex-military and only has half his mind left.
Apparently they made a stop from whever they were coming from ( POP it is said, but all gringos come from POP for my fellow campisinos ) at a bank to withdraw 1000$ in cash...... so maybe it was his plan.
Anyway the guide rode back to the PN where he reported this. The PN kept his pasola to the guy is found ( me too I first thought he killed him to steal the $ ).
Word gets out and the father of the escapee put out a reward of 50 000 pesos to whom will find him.....
A search party ( dominican style ) of 20 were out in the mountains looking for him. He was spotted twice but manage to evade....
Beige bermudas and baseball cap.
At nightfall the father gave out a propina of 5000 pesos for drinks and to encourage tomorrows renewed search.....
Hope they find him..... awful hilly/mountainy out there. And today was VERY hot....
We shall see.
