0:00.0	Hello, everyone.
0:03.0	Welcome back to National Park After Dark. We have our trail tales today and we have lots of special stories for you. But in case you are listening and not watching on YouTube, you must know that Danielle is wearing a shirt that says milk on it today. Oh, yes. It got me. Man, I love frogs.
0:41.5	Man, I love frogs. Yeah. And it's like one of those Instagram ads. I think we talked about
0:49.1	this on a trail tales like a few weeks ago. I think we did too. Follow up. Hopefully. And maybe it wasn't, maybe it was just a private conversation. I'm not sure. But yeah, we, the targeted Instagram ads got me, wore me down. This thing was everywhere. It was in my Instagram. I was in my Google. It was it. I know everything's connected and it's a whole thing. Yeah, I've never seen that on my Instagram now. So it was like for you specifically. Specifically. It's because I lingered on it too long once. And it was like, she must need this. Love frogs. Man, she must love frogs. So yeah, I got it.
1:34.0	It looks great. Thank you. I usually wear it to bed. And actually I did wear it to bed last night.

2:04.0	It's the library restaurant in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It's in a really historic building.
2:08.5	It's beautiful. I've been there before, but they were offering a special event where they did
2:12.7	like a wine tasting, food pairing kind of intertwined with a historic tour.
2:19.5	So like between courses and wines, they would tell you the history of the building
2:23.4	and its life since the 1700s and kind of a little bit about the old rough and tumble
2:29.7	version of Portsmouth, which was super interesting.
2:33.3	15,000 sailors, 60 brothels, 150 taverns, and two police officers.
2:40.4	Wow.
2:41.2	So it's the wild west of the east.
2:44.5	Yeah.
2:46.5	But anyways, so I thought it was going to be a wine tasting, which is great. And it was, but they
2:52.6	gave full glasses of wine. And there was four rounds. And the event was only like two hours or less.
