brad pitt in the DR looking for real estate

one of the reasons we went out to the samana peninsula this past weekend also was to try run into brad pitt. i'm joking. but seriously, he was here scouting out real estate development locations. yes, real estate! this was his second time looking at real estate here - the first being when he was here with angelina jolie back in january when she was filming a movie in santo domingo with robert de niro. this is obviously excellent publicity and just goes to show that the DR is getting more and more discovered.

here's some press on his visit here:

Brad Pitt visited the Dominican Republic this week to scout real estate development locations.
The actor took a helicopter to the Samana peninsula, on the island's north coast, and the eastern towns of Miches and Punta Cana to look into real estate projects with art dealer and promoter George Nader.
He was photographed Friday afternoon following a meeting with German architects Lars Kruckeberg and Wolfram Putz at a hotel in the capital's colonial district. The architects had previously refurbished Pitt and girlfriend Angelina Jolie's house in Los Angeles.
Jolie — who was in the Caribbean nation in January filming the movie "The Good Shepherd" with Robert De Niro — did not accompany Pitt, said her publicist, Holly Goline, who confirmed Pitt's trip.
