We have 4 days and 19 hours from now!

We finished USA and received Spain this time for the World Wheel :)

Tasks remaining:
France:
WW78 character cycles (a lot)

Spain:
WW86 Author born in Spain

We have already completed the spell-out for Spain and a book with red and yellow on the cover.

There are some books I haven't filed on the main sheet, as I wanted to give everyone a chance to see if their books fit the above tasks. Let us know if they do or don't!

I'm going okay as well. I've been working, volunteering, planning for europe and other life admin that I neglected when I was sick last week. The amalfi coast sounds awesome and hopefully I can check it out. Thanks for the rec Elisabeth!

hope you're going ok too!

The wagassi sounds so interesting. I'm heading to Europe (Italy and Greece) at the end of the month for a few weeks so when I find the cheese places in Italy, I'm going to suss out the cheeses from this challenge there

oh you're so fine for checking! It now says F94 on both sheets. Thank you!
I guess it serves me right for doing this late at night or when I'm at work hahaha
