Eden & Yvette's Fall Trip - Continued

The continuing story of Eden and Yvette's autumn trip up north.

Roche Rouge

Eden and Yvette were camped at Roche Rouge with its gorgeous view of Killarney Bay.
Picture
It was a beautiful day, and Eden got their bikes down.
Picture
"It's such a nice day, how about we go for a bike ride?"
Picture
 "I'm sorry, but it's way too cold today."
Picture
"But getting some exercise might help warm you up."
Picture
"No thanks. I'm freezing," and she went back to cradling her cup of hot coffee.
Picture
Eden was disapointed. He had hoped Yvette would enjoy being out in nature.
Picture
Picture
But she was clearly not the outdoorsy type..
Picture
So he sat down beside her.
Picture
Picture
At least his dog seemed to be enjoying it.
Picture
"It is really beautiful here though."
Picture
"Yes, it is."
Picture
"So, how about we go into town and get a nice hot meal?"
Picture
"You'd like that wouldn't you boy?"
Picture
"So, what do you say?"
Picture
"Yes, I'd like that."
Picture

Distracted

So they went into town, to Herbert's Fisheries on the waterfront....
Picture
...and they sat down to enjoy some of their famous fish and chips.
Picture
But Yvette was distracted...
Picture
"Do you really have to do that right now?"
Picture
"Yes.  This is the first time all week that I have any Internet connection."
Picture
"...and I need to respond to all my friend's texts."
Picture
"They all want to know how our trip is going."
Picture
It was definitely not as well as he had hoped, Eden thought.
Picture
Eden turned to his dog...
Picture
"What do you say about taking a walk along the harbour?"
Picture
So they got up and left...
Picture
Picture
Yvette didn't even notice that they were gone.

A Walk in the Woods

Yvette had apologized profusely for her behaviour at dinner the night before, and had promised to put her phone away and make a more concerted effort to participate in the activities Eden so clearly enjoyed. It was a lovely morning, and considerably warmer than it had been up until then, so Eden suggested a walk to enjoy the fall colours.
Picture
Picture
It was a beautiful morning, and the trees were ablaze with colour....
Picture
Picture
And they were both enjoying the crisp autumn air, and all the gorgeous fall colours.
Picture
Eden turned to see Yvette had fallen behind....
Picture
She seemed to be having a problem....
Picture
Picture
"Are you okay?"
Picture
"I don't know."
Picture
"I think I may have twisted my ankle."
Picture
"Looks like I ruined yet another of your favourite activities."
Picture
"This isn't your fault.  Accidents happen.  And at least you tried."
Picture
"So let's get you back to the RV, and we can put some ice on it."
Picture
And he helped her slowly hobble her way back to the RV....
Picture
Then after icing her ankle, and making Yvette comfortable, Eden decided it was time to head for home.
Picture

A Bear

On the way home Eden stopped at the Trading Post. He realized the trip had been a challenge for Yvette, but in the end she had tried, only to have twisted her ankle.
Picture
So he wanted to get her something....
Picture
"Thank you. It's adorable."
Picture
"I'm sorry the trip didn't turn out quite as you had hoped."
Picture
"I really love you."
Picture
"I did have a pretty good time. It's really beautiful out in the wilderness. And even though an RV is not a luxury hotel, it definitely beats roughing it in a tent."
Picture
"So, you'd be open to giving it another try sometime?"
Picture
"Yes, I think so.  But how about in the summer....when it's a lot warmer?"
