Hello everybodyChileguys!

I think this page is pretty much the NadalNews page of Chile. Seems like they are live-blogging his whole visit! (mangle) There was even a live-stream of his practice today. Chile? Knows how much we want to see Rafa.

(Sorry this post isn’t as comprehensive as it should be. I know I’m missing about 8000 tweets – give or take a few – but I’m in the middle of a 3 day conference and actually have homework I have to do for tomorrow’s session! And that session starts in 10 and a half hours. I better get busy.)
