Good evening dear friends, it is a quiet evening here in Medjugorje or atleast here where I live, at the base of the Cross Mountain. As you all know, the 20th youth fest is starting tomorrow and this little western Herzegovinian village is already swamped with youth and those that feel young :-) Tomorrow is the day when most of the youth arrives but I must add that there was quite a few people that attended the evening mass tonight. If I had to guess I would say 20000. In any case, I just wanted to share this much with you all and tell you that I will try to keep my writing short and I will try my best to transfer the energy of the youth fest

to you all by adding as many photos and video clips as possible.

On another note, know that the full program (all of the talks and lectures) will be uploaded live to the internet so you can enjoy the benefits of the modern media and listen to all of what is going on here during this week. Just go to www.medjugorje.hr for further information, this is the website edited by the parish office of Medjugorje.
