Yes, after the last couple of weeks of hot weather throughout the Bay Area and even in San Francisco, we turn our attention to Outdoor Ice Rinks. Truth be told, we can no longer ignore the fact that the "Holiday Season" is upon us. Bundle up (that is, put on the same clothes you basically wear for most of the year anyway) and head out for some Hans-Brinker-and-the-Silver-Skates kind of fun at the following two spots in San Francisco:
