Pre-trip excitement

This morning Mara gave me the name of the falafel vendor in the Marais that a bunch of friends have mentioned - L'as du Falafel on rue des Rosiers. With name and street we are sure to find it now! I also located our Paris hotel using google maps. You can see it here too. Google's street view isn't very useful in rural areas, but in cities it can be wonderful. I love seeing the balconies our hotel is known for on my laptop before we arrive, Grand Hotel des Balcons. http://bit.ly/8kIKy
