The Way I see South America Sometimes

Two unemployed people from Argentina, in a 1980 van, driving their four children to Philadelphia to see the Pope. Who is from Argentina.

Makes sense to me!



PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — As many as two million people are expected to be in Philadelphia for the visit by Pope Francis and the World Meeting of Families in September. But it’s unlikely any of them will have a journey as long — or as remarkable — as one family from Argentina.
Packed in a 1980 VW minibus are Noël Zemborain; her husband, Alfredo Walker (nicknamed ‘Catire’); and their four kids: Carmin, 2; Mia, 5; Dimas, 8; and Cala, 12.
“It’s a very big family,” says Noël. “A very intense family experience.”
That’s putting it mildly.
In March, mom and dad ditched their jobs, drained their savings, and told their three girls and one boy that they were about to embark on the trip of a lifetime.
“We are traveling all through the continents toward Philadelphia,” says Noël. “We are meeting people, we are learning things about them, and getting to know other ways of living.”
