First off, let us explain the reason for the title. I (Adam) was waiting in line for Bryan and Thomas and I to get Burger King at YVR before our flight. When Thomas and Bryan came and joined me in the line, there was a nice American man who had a thick southern accent that was not impressed and he told us. When I tried to explain that we were all together but he interupted and said the following:
"You boys have manners like a billygoat." Thomas was flustered and Bryan had already walked away from the situation and I was trying to regain my composure after almost bursting out laughing.
Anyways, onwards we went, to Houston and then to Buenos Aires. This flight was a doozie as we had to go through the night and I do not sleep well in airplanes I found out. Thomas does. He snores.
In Buenos Aires, we managed to get ourselves into the city centre via taxi with our amigo named George (pronounced hoor-hay). In the city, we walked around for about 6 hours exploring the European architecture of many of the buildings. As it turned out, when we got back on the plane we were trying to read a magazine in Éspanol and found out that we saw 2 of Argentina´s top 5 attractions while we were there for the short time.
After our 13 hour lay-over in Argentina where we were running on less than 2 hours sleep, we got back on the plane for Asuncion...our final destination. We were warmly greeted by our leader Judah and by one of two leaders of Athletes in Action. By this time, we were leaving the airport just before midnight. Of course, before we could go to our home and crash for the night, we were taken to a taco stand. After that, we were taken to our house which is quite amazing. We have two floors and a few bathrooms and Thomas, Bryan, and I all have mattresses. That was a relief. We will try to post pictures of our house later because we´re having some difficulty posting pictures.

I already knew you boys were billygoats, maybe even mountain goats, I don't know why this was a surprising comment. Perhaps you all should wear signs just to inform the public so that they are also aware and know what to expect ;).
see Tom, i told ya that you would sleep on the plane.
I would like to echo Jocelyn's thoughts on the matter.
Wow. I would have loved to see that man's face if you had informed him you 3 were traveling to Paraguay for 3 months to help children and families live better lives! I'll bet he would have felt pretty dumb for judging you guys as just a bunch of irresponsible "hoodlums" who don't care about others. LOL! Glad you are there safely and all in one piece!
