i swear the weather is never like this except for when you have out of town-ers. it's always a bummer when it rains in austin because it rules out some of the awesome patios, but we made due by bundling up and hiding under umbrellas. 

some rainy day suggestions: a long brunch at elizabeth street cafe, wandering south congress {shopping at stag and UAL),  spending 3+ hours on the *covered* patio of hsj, finding a fireplace, and cozy indoor spots – like justines and mezcaleria tobala.

^^ happy birthday, martha!
