MISSING: DON QUIXOTE

For the past several years, Don Quixote has resided at Casa Knapp's on Calle San Jorge in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  He has had a wonderful life.  He had a spectacular view of the city on the top of the hill.  He had his own private balcony on the second floor. 

After having a great life, Don Quixote decided he still wanted to try and save the world.  He believes only what he chooses to believe and sees the world very differently from most people.  About 10 days ago, he dissapeared without any warning whatsoever.  In the middle of the night he vanishes.  When Atisidora arrived to work (she is the Knapp's bratty maid) she found Quixote gone.  His traveling partner and body guard, Sancho Panza is also gone.  It is a real mystery because Rocinante, Don Quixote's barn horse is still here.  Instead, he decided to take a different mode of transportation...an elephant.  How in the world did Don Quixote excape San Miguel on an elephant without anyone seeing him?

A report has been filed and a couple of local gringos are on the hunt.  Gail and Jim have promised the Knapp's that they will work day and night to find Don Quixote.  During their investigation, Mercado, the owner of Restaurante Mercado Ramirez, told Gail that he saw this guy on an elephant on the beach of the Port of San Antonio.  He yelled at the guy but all he could make out was something about going long tube snorkeling.  He was using the elephant's trunk as his snorkel.  Mercado said he just ignored the guy because he seemed too weird and crazy.

A day or two later, Jim was at the beach talking with Stubby, the guy from Idaho with missing fingers and owner of the local french fry stand. Stubby told Jim that Don Quixote dumped that dumbo elephant, and he and Sancho got into an argument.  Sancho took off on Dapple, his donkey and told Quixote that he could have his wife, Teresa Panza.  If you haven't seen Teresa, you are really missing something.  She is a model and beauty.  However, no one knows where Teresa is living. 

Atisidora pretends that she is in love with Quixote.  She has been seen at the Jardin asking for him.  Jim and Gail will contine their search.  Perhaps the local paper's management team, Atencion, will have to get involved.  Stay tuned for further developments on Don Quixote.
