So you're saying that since I now have my FAA liscense, I am no longer
allowed to sit back and enjoy the scenery as a passenger while a friend
of mine acts as PIC?

If all you were doing is sitting back and enjoying the ride, yes - you
are allowed to just sit back and enjoy the ride. However, in this
case the other guy was at the controls and flying the aircraft. If I
was going somewhere and was at the controls I would expect, regardless
of who was PIC, to have some basic idea of where I was going and the
route used to get there and not just rely on the other guy to say
something along the lines of "head thataway for a while, I'll let you
know."
