If there is one thing I look forward to doing on the weekends, it is going for a ride and sightseeing. While it may seem that I always travel, the truth of the matter is, I don't. I really only travel during the times there is a break from school like Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring, and summer. Even then, there are times when we stay home or simply go for a long drive and return home the same day.

Such was the case when Marc, my partner, and I visited the O'Shaughnessy Dam in the Country of San Francisco last May. I didn't know it existed prior to the trip. Anyway, it proved to be interesting and quite popular. There were many other tourists around.

While I have lived in San Francisco a long time, there happens to be lots more places in Northern California which we haven't explored. We plan to.
