This blog will document me, Jacob, and my brother, Harrison, as we travel through China, Cambodia, Italy, and Spain. We will be staying in Hong Kong, Beijing, Siem Reap, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Torla, and Madrid over a period of 3 weeks. We hope to give everyone an accurate taste of our trip, and look forward to the memories that will be made in this once in a lifetime opportunity! Yes, we know maneuvering is spelled incorrectly in our blog address. It's a pun.

Gaudi´s Architecture and Tapas
Yesterday was awesome for the eyes and the taste buds. We woke up early to get crescent rolls stuffed with nutella at a cafe... god was that good. We then visited La Sagrada Familia, which was so cool. The mass size and intricate design were overwhelmingly beautiful, definitely the coolest church I had ever been inside. The Picasso museum was next, which had a huge number of his works which really impressed us all. After that we got lunch at a tapas place in a small alleyway that was pretty good. After that we took a break at our parent´s hotel where we napped, swam in the pool, hung around, and of course blogged about the day before.We then went to a house made by Gaudi called Casa Batlla, which was equally as cool as La Sagrada Familia but in such different ways. I would never have thought before about how he took into consideration the shapes and designs of the house to perfect the air ventilation, space maximization, etc. To end our day we went to a salivating tapas restaurant called Paco Meralgo. The food was so good, and we ended up splitting about 6 tapas between the 4 of us because the food was simply too good not to try. It was possibly the first michelin star restaurant I´ve ever been to. When we crashed around 12:30 our taste buds were more than satisfied.
