It’s raining. It’s our first night and I don’t think there will be rain in the forecast past tomorrow though. In the meantime, this gave me the perfect opportunity to play. I went out on the balcony with my Garmin GPS watch (for runners). After getting a satelite fix I started and stopped the watch so that I could "capture" the GPS coordinates.
Once I downloaded my "run" into my computer I was able to export the run to a text file and extract the exact lat/long of our location. Google Earth or Google Maps will accept raw GPS coordinates and bring up the precise location on a map for you. If you have time I suggest downloading Google Earth and looking around the area. Other people have posted their pictures to Google Earth and a couple of them look like they were taken on the balcony right next to ours!
I also took a picture off the balcony of the apartment looking at the street corner below. You can see that picture placed on a Flickr map as well.
