Ice Skating in the San Francisco Bay Area

The holidays are over.  2012 has begun.  Tis the season for winter sports.  But, there is no real snow up in the mountains, in stark contrast to the weekly blizzards of 2011.  What to do?

Try ice skating in the Bay Area.

San Francisco's Yerba Buena Garden has a great indoor rink.  It is large.  And they offer lessons for beginners and for kids (and adults) who want to do a bit more than skate around in a circle.  The rink is open every day, all year long.
