Birds do it. Bees do it. At least, they appear to do it -- vote, that is. Everybody seems to be in the process recently of casting ballots over one thing or another.
Why not we citizens of blogland? (Please note the edgy post-modern refusal to capitalize proper nouns.)
And I have a topic that it is every bit as trivial as any Gallup Poll (hardly a post-modern organization).
I love Pacific Mexican architecture. And there is a young architect whose work I have come to appreciate: Alejandro Lazareno. I have seen several of his houses in Barra de Navidad, Melaque, and La Manzanilla. If I buy a house in the Barra de Navidad area, I hope it will be one of his designs.
So, here is the question: Of the following six houses, which one would you recommend for me? (Like most polls, you will not have adequate information to answer the question. But voting is its own reward. Choose a house from this post and then vote over in the right column. At least, that is how it is supposed to work.)
Candidate number 1:

Candidate number 1:
This is the house I wanted to look at when I went to Barra de Navidad in December, but a sale was pending at the time. It is an Alejandro design with plenty of color.
Candidate number 2:
This is another Alejandro design. The most fascinating feature is the master bedroom suite. It is separated from the main portion of the house by a court yard.
Candidate number 3:
I have not seen this house, but it is another Alejandro design. You can see his style in this house. Plenty of flowing curves and bold colors.
Candidate number 4:
This is the newest Alejandro house in the group. Easily identified by the fluid swoops and primary colors. Houses 1 through 4 are in Barra de Navidad.
Candidate number 5:
This is the house I went to see in La Manzanilla in November. It is small, but large enough for me. The view is potentially great, but a house may be built that will block the view. I still dream about this house.
Candidate number 6:
I have added this house as my reality check. Dreaming of buying is all very well and good. But this lovely house in Melaque will be available as a rental. I am flying down in July to determine if this is the way to start my adventure in Mexico.
The polls are open until midnight (Pacific time) on Friday. My fate is in your hands. Be gentle. Be kind.
