Portsmouth: An Old Town by the Sea | 
The third and current performer at #BookAndBar is Hideki Nakanishi from Japan (spelling might be off, we haven't chatted with him yet). He does New Age guitar and mandolin and uses light electronic beats also. Somewhat psychedelic and quite incentive. Almost like watching a jazz performer to their thing.
Never know what you'll experience at this #bookstore--love it!!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The second gentleman to perform at #BookAndBar is Per Boysen, who hails from Sweden and is touring the US for a month or so. His music is akin to New Age with some light electronic beats tossed in. Really, really good. We got to chat with him for quite awhile, and he's a deeply personable fellow. 😁👍🏻👍🏻

Lol, this guy looks scary 😆👏🏻. #BookAndBar has a slew of musicians performing tonight. This gentleman is a dj from Ec Negru, hailing from France! He does techno lounge-chill. It's fantastic! We got to chat with him for awhile. 😁👍🏻👍🏻

We're back at #BookAndBar having some great drinks! @BookBabe 's having a hot toddy, and I'm having a Walk In the Woods tea, which has sarsaparilla, orange peel, cinnamon, red rose petals, and ginger. Wow! This is a unique and terrific tea!
We were going to read, and then live performers started performing!

And...after-dinner drinks at the famous #BookAndBar! I got a hot toddy. Perfect for a chilly autumn night. We came at the best time—experimental electronic music night! We met musicians from France, Sweden, and Japan. Amazing stuff! Plus we browsed and bought books. A splendid evening indeed!

Time for dinner 😁👏🏻! We're eating on the waterfront this evening at a highly-recommended place called #Surf, just a few blocks from #BookAndBar.
I‘m having miso-crusted crispy salmon on a bed of crispy sticky jasmine rice with sesame seeds, with grilled asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. Delicious! Paired with a Pinot Noir because I just like red wine so much better than white. 🍷

Dinner at #Surf is now served! I got a special tonight: grilled swordfish, saffron rice, arugula and roasted cherry tomatoes, and iced tea (because I'm driving later). MMMmmmm 😋! After this, back to #BookAndBar!

Guess where we've just stopped! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😱😱😱😱😱😱 We'll be back later after dinner. Wanted to see it in the daytime first. 😎

Breakfast today was exceptional! Not pictured is my healing cup of berries. Then we had a tomato & pesto soufflé, maple sausage patty, oj, mango juice, and tea. MMMmmm ?????! The proprietors and other guests are so friendly!!! When I mention I'm a librarian, I get the ooh-ahh looks, so, fellow librarians, we're looked up to as praiseworthy citizens here! ???
#NewEngland
We have a cozy reading nook where we read last night 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Well, I read around 10 pages before commencing my snoring, at which point @BookBabe made me go to bed 😆.
#NewEngland
The b&b we checked into last night is so quaint and artistically-minded! Paintings and books *every*where 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! We're staying in the Seawitch Room. Very cozy. 👍🏻👍🏻

Dinner tonight was in Portsmouth, NH. Jumpin' Jay's Fish Cafe! An incredible shrimp cocktail with the biggest shrimp I've ever eaten 😱; a linguine dish in a scampi sauce with shrimp, mussels, divers scallops, and broccoli; to drink, a local Portsmouth brew called Liar's Bench, nice and dark and rich! MMMmmm 😋!!! 😎👌🏻
Alright Litsers, work is bringing me to Portsmouth, NH for two weeks. Anyone from the area have any bookish recommendations for me? I'm also not above crashing your book clubs.
