Elizabeth Jury, 27, an international school teacher from DeWitt, Mich., and Brittany Wilkins, 27, a professional basketball player from Arlington, Neb., were on Mount Desert Island on the most recent leg of their 27-day road trip together. They had taken a hike on the Ship Harbor Trail near the lighthouse, when they met the Obamas.

“We were sitting on the rocks, looking out on the water and taking it all in when the Secret Service came up,” Jury said. “They checked us out and we’re like, ‘Obama’s coming, Obama’s coming.’ But we didn’t think he’d talk with us.”

But he did talk with them.

“He was so friendly. He said, ‘Hey guys, how’s it going?’ His wife was in front with the dog. He was very genuine, so much more open and friendly than I expected,” she said.

1. The video at the link is kind of fun. It isn't of Obama. It is the business owners and tourists

talking about it.

Most of the people here love President Obama and his family.
