Its official WYD11 will be in Madrid Spain.
During WYD Ebenedict will be doing WYD Live Blogging.
With World Youth Day (WYD08 ) coming up in Sydney I'm planning to "live blog" the event. I've been involved with the setup of www.ybenedict.org - Daily Pilgrim News on WYD. So when the event hits I'll be there. Hopefully with full media accreditation so I can live blog and have access to the media centers.
The final location of the content isn't certain yet. But I will make that known closer to the date. I've got a 3g phone, Canon D350 SLR and a laptop so stay tuned for updates on the ground at WYD08 in Sydney!
The mainstream media can let you know what is going on, but they can't give you the insiders perspective from a pilgrim who gets it. If you are also interested in live blogging let me know. We may be able to work something out.
