Cabarete
Ok, we all have our stories about what we have seen carried on or even towed by moto conchos, we have seen how many people you can squeeze into a carrito, publico etc and we nearly always shake our heads and say only in the D.R. but the following was a first for me.
Whilst driving into Cabarete this morning, a carrito was driving towards Sosua, the norrmal Toyota Corola, packed with people, and one passenger obviously decided that he did not want to wait for another one to come along and so he was sitting on the hood or bonnet, whilst the car was going about 50 km per hour!!!!
Now this is seen quite often during parades, carnivals, election time and major baseball games, but at a very slow pace going through town in a convoy, which is quite acceptable, in this country anyway...but going along at 50 km along the main road on the hood of a car AND having to pay for it???
You always think you have seen it all, but then something else comes up!!
