We've just returned from a vehicle fair (feria). While walking and browsing we got to the Espaillat motors stand. They had one truck that we were interested in but it looked just it little as if it was used too hard. During the course of the conversation, I happened to mention that Marco was a friend of ours and asked if the sales person knew him.
Well, things changed immediately. The sales person told us that if we are friends of Marco's we are indeed family. And, don't buy this camioneta, but go to Moca, he has two others that would be better buys than this one in terms of price and quality. The prices immediately came down considerably. He then took us over to the Espaillat motors tent, introduced us around and told everyone that we are friends of Marco's and to treat us like family.
So, here in the DR, it is for sure who you know that makes a difference. Thanks Marco! You did us a big favour this morning. We all think we need to know a big General or something, but, sometimes we just need to know one another.
