I've noted the existence of a an entertaining and informative forum The Papa Ratzinger Forum - which is particularly valuable for the translations of foreign news and commentary.
I should have also noted the existence of a similar place, run by the Christopher Blosser - at the Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict Fan Club. Some of the same folks post at both spots.
From the former, I found this sweet picture, of the Pope with the Polish president's family, including his 3-year old granddaughter:
And if you have time, check out this news video (it has to download, so be warned) of the photo session - when the Pope gently pulls the little girl, who's wandering the room, to take her place in the shot. Cute!
This link has similar footage, but doesn't require long downloading http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/Maklara/?action=view¤t=679b38d6.flv
There's also a pat on the head for the little girl.
