Holy driving, Batman!

My brother just began attending Harvard this summer for his master's so it is pretty cool that we are now living in the same city! I am still learning about the transportation around here so I will not have any specific names, but all that I know is that one day my brother and his wife took a train to meet up with us about halfway. We live about 30-45 minutes apart. We picked them up in Framingham. This was the first time that I saw this city/town and also the way people drive around here. I must say, it is scary! I mean, first of all, I have to tell you that they do NOT have middle lanes up here in the east coast so you have to be very agressive if you need to get acrss the road! Second of all, some of these roads do not have lines painted on them so the drivers just make their own lanes!! It's not this bad in our town, but I guess in the bigger cities or the closer you get to Boston it gets this crazy. Anyway, we ate at a restaurant that my husband says is a must to go to if you are visiting Boston--Legal Seafood. After dinner we drove my brother and his wife back to Cambridge so I got to see some of the Harvard campus (and more of the bad driving)! I was able to see their apartment/loft and we walked a little to get there after parking so I got to experience some of the area. I didn't get to walk around the campus, but I plan to do that soon! :)
