Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: Kind of . I took a week off of work and did n't go anywhere . Instead , my college roommate and freakishly close friend Al flew down from Seattle and we held a contest to see how many parts of Northern California we could see in nine days ( bonus points for Nevada ! ) . I think we did okay : we kayaked on Lake Tahoe ; came out $ 15 and $ 0.75 ahead , respectively , in Reno ; got caught in crazy fog on Golden Gate Bridge when the ENTIRE rest of the Bay was bathed in sunshine ; played pirate mini - golf at the boardwalk in Santa Cruz ; hit the Napa outlets ; and watched most of the first season of Heroes , among other things . 
Question: Where did the narrator go for travel ?
