Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day

It's early. Dark. Cold. But such trivial matters cannot deter the dedicated. Down the road, so to speak, the faithful are gathering to greet Pope Benedict XVI, who will be saying mass at 10 am and Rainy Day will be there. Not live blogging the event, though. Some things remain unbloggable, for the time being.

The mass is part of the pontiff's "homecoming tour", which began yesterday. If you want to follow the action, you can find live streams here during the day. Because it's Bavaria, expect to see a sea of Weiß-Blau flags. Who's that waving the yellow and white one? It's me!
