The aesthetic of the Mediterranean Sea is a major pull in our decision to move to Athens: we crave something different from the fifty shades of white Scandinavian minimalism.

In our friendly celebration of roadside flowers it is time to vote between Pentad World and You are Laurel, Right? Remember that the selection is intentional, the pairing is random, and the voting criteria are for you to decide.
See last week’s result and follow the celebration here. Ps. on the occasion of a tiebreak, I draw between the two sites.
