Where did yum download files to?

Hello,
I installed gcc using yum by using the command yum install gcc. It did its thing and downloaded 5 rpm packages and it proceeded to install them. The question is, where did it download these rpm to as I would like to keep them for future use? I'm using CentOS 5.3. Thank you.

The packages are downloaded to :
/var/cache/yum/<reponame>/packages/

To keep packages ( in the future ) :

1) su
2) gedit /etc/yum.conf
... and edit line 3 from
keepcache=0
to
keepcache=1
.....
