El Chilito in Austin, Texas, USA
When it rains in Austin, its usually quick and heavy. The roads become slick and dangerous, the air starts to smell of all the dead sun-soaked grass, trash that’s melted into the sidewalk, and the build up of dried dog urine – at least in East Austin. At the same time, though, the rain is well needed and very welcomed.
