Talk about a family road trip that seemed endless.
A family of 6 from Argentina spent a half-year driving through 13 countries in a VW bus so they could reach Philadelphia and see Pope Francis.

The pontiff praised the family for the way they "live life with joy."
But did add, with a smile, "You are crazy."
