The next half of our trip was much better because we sat sideways so we could stretch out our legs. We couldn’t talk very well because we had helmets on and the boat was really loud, so an hour into the second portion of our trip, Sonja started signing to me. I had no idea what she was saying. Apparently she was asking me if I knew sign language. I knew the alphabet so we started spelling out sentences to each other. It made the time pass much quicker. The driver even decided to get in on our sign language. He motioned that my knees were as red as the boat, which was true. Sonja was so sweet and tried to cover them with her arms, but I think the damage was already done. I am pretty sure I will have some very blistered knees.
