THE CANARY ISLANDERS IN LOUISIANA. LOUISIANA, SAINT BERNARD. NEW ORLEANS. DELACROIX ISLAND

[yscloskeygirl]

Thank you so much for responding to my comments. Leta (the old lady in the video) was extremely well loved and quite a character for us grandchildren. I knew Mr. Chalito my entire life; his oldest son Ricky and I are the same age and Yscloskey was a small hamlet. If at all possible, I would appreciate it if I could receive some type of notice when you most more video of my grandmother. My family will be so excited. Thanks so much!

[yscloskeygirl]

The old lady talking about the light is my grandmother. Leta always told us stories about the light-I think she liked to scare us. I'd like to know if the maker of this film has any further information on her; we are trying to put together a family tree. Her name is Marie Asevado, her husband was Adam Asevado. They had 6 children: Frank, Lana, Mable, Bernard, and Melvin. I believe this was part of a PBS program; possibly someone has information on that.

[AmazonasFilms]

@yscloskeygirl No, la grbación se hizo hace muchos años con una cámara de video VHS y no es parte de un programa PBS. Tengo más filmaciones sobre esta señora que iré poniendo en YouTube más adelante. Espero que sea de su agrado, porque ella era muy simpática. Le agradezco su información.

¿Es usted de Yscloskey? ¿Conoció a Charles Robin? ¿Le enseñó su abuela español?

Saludos cordiales desde las Islas Canarias.

"Even after the Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people implying with bad jokes that Cajuns aren't smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody that would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats is a damn genius".

[SadieMirsade]

Louisiana is probably the most fascinating state in the US. So much culture, so much history. It's a true goldmine, a real treasure chest.

Its governments, leadership and intelligentsia should do their utmost to safeguard this wealth of culture and colonial American history as it really is a indigenous microcosm of all the Americas on US soil.

[berry77425]

This is supposed to be a dying language? Shit, tell em to go anywere in texas.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@berry77425 Their Spanish is very different than anything you would hear in Texas, the accent is different...there are many different Spanish dialects...I know, I live in Texas too and speak Spanish...I've never heard any accents like that. I think these sound nicer :)

[Bdiddly1]

i used to live in tenerife,the people from there are lovely,but i didnt know they settled in the u.s!

[CubanScout]

I am a teenager (3rd generation Cuban-American) living in Miami. My grandparents came to the US during Castro's revolution. In Cuba, they were sugercane farmers from Canarian descent, in the Pinar Del Rio province. Pinar del RIo is across the gulf from LA, is there a connection? My great great grandparents come from Tenerife.

[gdelirium454]

@CubanScout Hey I'm a first generation Cuban immigrant as well. I also lived in Miami but now I live in Michigan, where I am studying. My dad's side of the family is from Tenerife as well. Is there a chance that we're related? I know it's a long shot, but it is not new for me to find out about relatives that we had no idea about.

[Zenbeekeepers]

I grew up St. Bernard and in Delecroix and I want to thank you for this film. It is sad to see that this strong heritage and way of life is gone. I am proud to be a Islanos and I tell every one I can about how great live was down the road. I miss Lally, Whishie, Tonta Boom and most of all Joe Blow.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@Zenbeekeepers I am from Violet, but lots of my family is from Delacroix, Toca, Poydras, Violet, and Meraux. My family's last name is Gutierrez, but we are related to Rodriguez, Nunez, and Estopinal. I speak pretty good Spanish that I learned from my family passed down, but we're loosing our language and becoming "more Americanized" than our grandparents. I hope the Canary Islands can help us strengthen our language, because this is our identity.."Los Isleños"

Tengo mi Canariedad en mi corazon.

[pixle101]

@IslenoGutierrez On a side note, my wife is from Okinawa Japan. The island natives from the old times speak the old Okinawan language. She is fortunate to be able to speak the old language fluently. Most her age can not speak it at all. I am always urging her to speak the old Okinawan language with my children and she refuses thinking it will confuse them. I do not blame the younger generation, but the generations before that would not pass it on to islenos like me.

[Hancy18]

omg she speaks like my grandma.. n im dominican

[bvnbmklopvcxzas]

Be Happy with Asian bride *lushfmlk.info*

[TheCaptainsWife65]

my mom was born abd raised in Delicrox Island her grand parents were shiped from spain. There last name is Melerine. I remember when i was alittle girl we use too go down there we called it the end of the world cause it droped off in too the river one way in and one way out....and all the crabs and grayfish all on top the table too eat.....now alot done movied off are hasnt gone back cents the flood and other people are buy the land now that wasnt born there and thats a shame.....

[Shoegazer3000]

Es interesante oír el acento isleño de Louisiana en comparación con nuestro acento canario de hoy. Demuestra una fuerte influencia portuguesa.

It's interesting to hear the Louisiana Isleño accent compared our Canarian accent today. It demonstrates a strong Portuguese influence.

[sawyerbobby]

Its sad how old traditions dont get passed down as much as it did before,as a teenage boy,I wish I knew how to do things my dad could do,but I can't,I live in the urban area.

[jubers101able]

Thank you for posting this!!

[ladydrama85]

Where can i buy the full version of this film?

[RedGlareMcNasty]

Their Spanish resembles that which is spoken in Cuba, which in turn originated from the Canary Is. also. Louisiana is an interesting place. On a side note, In 1763, Filipino escapees from Spanish galleons settled in what is now St. Bernard Parish. They founded a fishing village called St. Malo (no longer exists).

[diegodelamesa]

¡Qué lástima! Los huracanes y petróleo van a destruir culturas frágiles como la de los isleños, y de los cajuns también.

What a shame. Hurricains and oil are going to destroy fragile cultures like the isleños and the cajuns.

[netuber12]

@diegodelamesa Ok no olvides los negros y los blancos que estan sufiendo tambien

[lowsodium36]

Although they haven't maintained the Spanish lexicon as per the Real Academia....mis respetos por mantener lo que tienen.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@lowsodium36 there are many types of Spanish, their accents are still very similar to the accents of the canary islands. Not every spanish speaking country or region follows the Real Academia, there are many different dialects. I speak Argentine spanish and I use "vos" instead of "tu" like everyone else in Argentina. There are many different ways of speaking spanish...

[lowsodium36]

Although they haven't maintained the Spanish lexicon as per the Real Academia....mis respetos por mantener lo que tienen.

[jonathanarbuckle1]

Im from Lacombe and I never heard of los islenos before in school its probably cuz da guy say they only got 5 of them left.with the french mixing with the spanish and anglos in cajun country louisiana and french being a more popular language in this region of La the Castilian language was lost in this area. and for briquetaverne my french ancestors never ran down the mississppi from the british most of the french in La came from the caribbean haiti ect.. dont believe everything on wikipedia

[Louisianagames]

@jonathanarbuckle1 I'm from the Bayou Right down the road from You " Bayou Liberty in Slidell born and raised.. Wasn't in My school either.. lol, wikipedia, correct

[blakmajesty]

@jonathanarbuckle1 Thats the truth. Wikipedia thinks a Habanero is a pepper. I guess Im descended from peppers and not people.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@jonathanarbuckle1 The guy didn't say they had 5 islenos left, he said in his neighborhood, there was only 5 fluent spanish speakers left. The population of Isleno descendants in Louisiana are estimated at 40,000. There are other towns in St. Bernard that have fluent spanish speakers other than this guys town. But, not many fluent ones left.

[briquetaverne]

Actually the Cajuns aren't the same people as these Canary Island descendants. Castillion is Spanish not French. The Cajuns are from ARCADIA, the fromer French COLONY called New Brunswick,Canada today. Like the Native Americans, "Injuns" The Arcadians, "Cajuns" were slaughtered and chased out by the British. In the 17th Century they escaped via the Mississippi down to Louisiana, where like the Creole's and west Africans, they isolated themselves from the outside world as best they could.

[chsn09]

@briquetaverne

True but also, many African slaves from Haiti, and eastern Cuba, Maritinique, and Guadeloupe also helped keep alive and maintain the French cultures being that they were from French colonies!

Many of the Franco and Hispanos culture people in Louisiana have had their culture endangered because of the annexation and incorportation of this territory into the USA!

[easygrip]

is there a place to watch this without the damn watermark on it?

[SebastianQuinsella]

My mother side of the family is exclusively from the Canary Islands which then immigrated to Puerto Rico, where I was born. Listening to the people in the video was like hearing my Isleno family speak, even today. Great to see honest portrayals of people in the "new" world and not multi-cultural garbage that tells us nothing and is based on even less. Thanks for this great video...it is heartfelt.

[Landa4160]

I am from canary island (Los Islenos) descent from St. Bernard Parish and I just stumbled upon this video. I've always heard of our history from the elders, but it was neat to see this. Thanks!

[desireemd]

I am from SW Louisiana and have always considered myself a well-read and we-educated person. However, I discovered tonight that the Louisiana History teachers of my youth did me a HUGE disservice! They never taught me about the great impact that Los Islenos have had on our state and the culture of Louisiana. In fact, tonight was the first time I knew of Canary Islanders settling in Louisiana. Trust me ... I'm going to do all I can to learn more about the people and their heritage. Thanks!

[evergreenstater]

@desireemd You're not alone. I think the school system in Georgia didn't do me any favors either. I learned more reading books in the library and watching television than I did sitting in the classroom. I learned about the Islenos in National Geographic. In fact, I learned alot of things from reading on my own.

[MikeSpainUE]

@desireemd

Interesting. I am a Canary Islander and I'd like you to know that the accent of that people in the video is not Canary though their ancestors surely are Canary Islanders.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@MikeSpainUE Our accent is from the old Canary accent, but it evolved with us and became something that is similar to yours but a little different. But both of our accents come from the same old Canary accent of the 1700's. I'm very positive, that my ancestors and your ancestors spoke exactly the same. Accents will evolve independently from the original if taken from it's place of origin. We have alot of influence from English on our spanish accent. Tu me entiendes mi hermano Canario?

[TifNieB]

@desireemd I agree..

although I do use Youtube for music video viewing.. most of my heritage research and questions are all answerd through here because none of my grade school teachers told me half the things the videos on her has.

[DESERTHAWKIN]

6;26 sounds like old timers speaking puerto rican spanish

[yezziryessir13]

je ne comprends pas ce que vous avez juste dit

[MsHistory101]

Como da vueltas el mundo. Mis abuelos emigraron a Cuba de Canarias. Mis padres despues emigraron a los Estados Unidos, yo naci en Colorado en 1971. Cuando tenia un ano me mandaron a vivir a Tenerife, ahi me crie en La Laguna y Santa Cruz. Despues regrese a USA para la Universidad y mucho mucho despues en el 2005 (Katrina) estoy en el Army que fuimos destinados a rescatar gente justamente a Saint Bernard Parish a la parte en donde estan todos los Canarios y termino rescatando a uno.

[LordBuntaro]

Entonces tendrás ambas nacionalidades ¿no? La española y la estadounidense ¿verdad?

[cajunexpert]

aeseeke, Acadians were the original French inhabitants of Nova Scotia (Acadie), who were exiled by the English in 1755, and their descendents. Louisiana-born Acadians are called Cajuns.

[mizmaritza]

Yes Puerto Rican Spanish is marked by Canary Island Spanish regionalisms, as well as Andalucian. Don't let linguistic prejudice ever knock Puerto Rican Spanish. Also look at a map and look at where the Canary Islands are...closer to Northwest Africa than Spain...and where the Spanish first experimented with slave plantation labor and colonial administration before doing so in the Americas.

[nohotbycch12]

isn't every thing ignored about the south

[aeseeke]

Who are the Akadians?

[enchilada01]

@aeseeke natives

[AvenueD417]

the same people that are known as cajuns. they are of french descent.

[martinro03]

123

[darksphynx76]

I am a Cuban-American, and I live in Tampa. It's funny, but when people tell me that they get mad when they hear Spanish spoken because they believe in English should be the only language spoken. I tell them that Spanish has been spoken in these lands long before English ever was. It is very refreshing to see this video! Cubans and Canarios and identical in so many ways! LOL Que vive la cultura Española, Cubana y Frances aqui en Estados Unidos.

[queenwinterkat]

i myself am born in new orleans and am 1/2 spanish, 1/2 acadian.of course i can't openly say that since most inhabitants of the u.s. are brainwashed to believe spaniards are mexicans. if i mention it, it suddenly becomes a huge dominating issue somehow. folks should see more educational videos like this.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@queenwinterkat OMG!!! We are in the same boat. I am Spanish descent, actually I am Isleño, and if I tell an American who is not of Spanish descent, that I am of Spanish descent, they think of a Mexican and not a Spaniard. People in America are brainwashed to think no one White can be of a Hispanic descent. Sad.

[croweau]

beautiful, important, and sad. I'm a New Orleanian working in St. Bernard on an art installation/garden and I am honored to be there. Thanks for posting this - wonderful work.

[ariana2785]

canarias,las islas mas bonitas del mundo :)

[Travieso78702]

OMG, thank you so much for posting this. My maternal great-grandmother's family were true Creoles (Arcadia and St. landry Parish) - French and Spanish. The Spanish were from the Seville and the Canary Islands (Rasco family and others).

[IslenoGutierrez]

I think that we did an amazing achievement to have kept the Spanish alive for 236 years in Louisiana. We came here before this was United States, when Louisiana was owned by Spain. I think that is an amazing thing. Some of us speak with a Canary accent and some of us speak with an American accent. Depends.

[fernandoenamorado20]

you made a good point!...and you canary islanders ive noticed ONLY refer to yourselves as canary islanders or islenos but not espanoles or spaniards/spanish/hispanic...

i went to a canary islander festival in st bernard parish only like late march this year it wasnt wat i expected but i rlly didnt know what to expect anywayz lol...and the culture seems rlly cool! i wanan go next year even tho im not a canary islander! lol

[anusockinmydrawer]

I had Canary Island and Acadian ancestors my ancestors also intermarried with other Europeans as well as the Mississipian natives (five civilised tribes who are consistently overlooked in many peoples history) my ancestors took on many cultural customs of the natives especially the food..corn, squash, beans..chili peppers even tomatoes and potatos come from the Americas..i always knew the south had a Spanish history but wondered why it to was always ignored.

[fernandoenamorado20]

me too...i guess they just dont have too many spaniards left in new orleans/louisiana :/

and even if they do they themselves differ from a canary islander a bit lol i wish they had more spaniards here...spain in this day is always seen as nothing or ignored...ppl forget that (MOST) latinos dnt even have any spanish blood and that spanish ppl r actually white bcuz they have too many latinos and not enough spaniards.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@fernandoenamorado20 Most Latinos do have Spanish blood.

[portacoelhi]

thank you for producing this and the other videos about the Canarios. My family in Puerto Rico is Canarian and very proud of it.

Sadly, many have come to the States and are clueless about their European history and have been brainwashed into thinking that Puerto Rican history began in the Bronx. Your video speaks to the truth of the Canarios and for that I thank you immensely. I hope these words reach you. It would be an honor to commuicate directly with you. Please feel free to do so.

[fernandoenamorado20]

i know!...not all latinos/hispanics/spaniards

are the same...i count latino exclusively as latin american and hispanic including spain and spanish as only spain..but yeah i feel sorry for that man who died...imagine how U would feel if u were 1 of only 5 ppl in another country that was a great culture that now the generation forgot their culture died out and forgot their language it would suck...its VERY similar to what native latin americans do by tryina conserve their indian traditions.

[Pejeruin]

Gracias

[AmarilloSiempre]

Viva Canarias viva Gran Canaria, Viva España.

[dapunkof1975]

I like the way theyre speaking Spanish

[orangeblueandlavenda]

hey where'd my comment gouex?

[orangeblueandlavenda]

el louisianne tea bags del storo du next to sea wall an de pac du tea bagettes nex tu de sea walls et du sand will built up nex tu de walls an act as du barrier for tem tair hurry canes. say du paul et shaw in tem swamp areas :) lol

[katalambda]

Coño en Lousiana también hay herencia canaria xDD joder si al final van a estar en todos lados como me dijo mi abuelo xDD

[windmill63]

hello im puerto rican and my great great great great great grandparents came from the canary islands. a good majority of the puerto rican populaton can trace their ancestry to the canary islands and im interested to know more about my ancestors. i notice the accent is strikingly similar like how they dont pronounce the s in hombres

[fernandoenamorado20]

yes! lol..it sounds VERY puerto rican...

i thought that the puerto rican accent was based on the native tainos of puerto rico influencing the spanish language but i heard that its the CANARY islanders that came to cuba/puerto rico that gave the puerto ricans their accent...its surprising...perhaps the islanders and other spaniards influenced LATIN america even more then i originally thought....like the food horchata/platanos etc

[mojorero]

eso de lo que habla la mujer del minuto 7 no es la luz de mafasca?

that shining thing the old woman is talking about at minute 7 could be the legend called "luz de mafasca", from fuerteventura, canary islands

[AmazonasFilms]

Efectivamente, las luces que "aparecen" en Mafasca (Fuerteventura, Islas Canarias) y en Delacroix Island son como dos gotas de agua. ¿Pero no le parece lógico que la gastronomía, el folclore, las leyendas, las supersticiones y las "luces" tengan una evolución similar en los isleños canarios de ambos lados del Atlántico? Al fin y al cabo, todos partimos de la misma fuente cultural, relativamente próxima en el tiempo.

[mojorero]

por supuesto que me parece lógico, trataba de ampliar la información, ya que no entendí que hubieran dado la procedencia del fenómeno nombrado. Saludos y gran trabajo de investigación

[Seahawk601]

Interesante video. No sabia esto. Ni los politicos de LA hablan asi de su estado. Lastima.

[emergencyexit16]

actually. perze919, you have a lot of mistakes in your spanish....so..I wouldn't be criticizing..would you expect separated peoples to speak like their originators? The Acadians don't speak like the French and the Cajuns don't speak like the Acadians...does american, australian, and nigerian english sound british?? nope...it just wouldn't make sense..

[ElSurfe]

Un saludo a todos esos decendientes canarios de luisiana. hello to all decendents of canary ilends :) my family our blood

[ElSurfe]

Un saludo a todos esos decendientes canarios de luisiana. hello to all decendents of canary ilends :) my family our blood

[IslenoGutierrez]

@ElSurfe Saludos a todos los Isleños de las islas desde la comunidad Isleña de Luisiana, USA, desde Luisiana con un fuerte abrazo!

[dtrullo]

I was born in Cuba and my grandfather was born in Las Palmas Canarias. He became a Cuban citizen when he was 44. I' recently received his birth certificate. According to some laws (I'm not sure) I should be able to become Spanish citizen, but I would love to know more about my unknown heritage. My grandfather died the same year that I was born. I am so clueless!! From where did the first Canarians colonizers come from? From what part of Spain? or Europe?

[JUANBELLO83]

los colonizadores de canarias vienen de andalucía (sur de España9,ademas vinieron a vivir mucha gente de Portugal, y genova italia)

[queenwinterkat]

the canary islands.

[Tasarte]

Hi guys i'm from Canary Islands and like other fellows before me i'm touched of to say hello to you isleños from the other side of the sea and proud about the great achievements of our people in the New World. regards

[thekingofmoney2000]

¿Pues no son los isleños descendientes de españoles? Los españoles son Europeos, son blancos. ¿Y tú eres de las Canarias? Además, tienen ya mas de un siglo de visir en Louisiana, so llegaron ayer de las Canarias, sus ancestros eran canarios

[perz919]

I was born in New Jersey but my dad was born in Cabaiguan,Cuba. Which has one of the largest population of Canarian people. My greatgrandparents came from Las Palma Canaria

[IslenoGutierrez]

when talking about yourself you I am Isleno, when talking about many it would be Islenos-plural.Gracias

[thekingofmoney2000]

Y lo que me da mas riza es que vives en estados unidos, y naciste aquí y no te consideras gringo, ¡que ridículo!

[IslenoGutierrez]

La sangre Canaria, la Sangre Guanche! Los gringos de Estados Unidos no tienen!!! Soy Canario-Americano!

[thekingofmoney2000]

Y si vas a criticar, a lo menos aprende a escribir bien en español, porque tú ortografía, si es horrible.

[thekingofmoney2000]

¡Probablemente ellos hablan mejor español que tu!

[IslenoGutierrez]

After 200 years in this country, your great great grandchildren probably won't even speak spanish anymore. I think that its quite an achievement that we kept the Spanish language alive for over 200 years. Besides some of us speak with acento Canario and some speak with acento Americano. Hablo espanol con el acento Canario. Soy de Louisiana y soy descendiente Canario de San Bernardo tambien. You said ya dad is from Cuba, ok you don't think the first born Canario in Louisiana didn't speak well?

[IslenoGutierrez]

Oye, Hola a todos Los Isleños en aqui! I am just checking back to see the responses here on this page. I am well educated on the diaspora of Canarians that came over to the Americas and I, as an Isleno of Louisiana, must say that we have many brothers and sisters in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and even Uruguay. Somos Canarios; somos Isleños. Oh and to the non spanish speaking young Isleno descendants on here, I want you to sound correct when you address yourself as an Isleno not Islenos.

[islenosgirl]

I am an Islenos descendant. I grew up in Delacroix, LA. My godmother was at one time the Curator of the Islenos Museum in St. Bernard, Louisiana. Thank you for this heart touching video as we strive to keep our heritage together and all of our memories alive.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@islenosgirl When describing yourself as an Isleño woman, you would call yourself an Isleña. Also, Isleños is plural meaning many Canary Islanders, so if you are only talking about one, you would say Isleño for a man and Isleña for a girl. I am an Isleño descendent of St. Bernard as well. I speak Spanish because my family is still passing it on, but our language is dying out because less and less is being taught at home and english is more dominant with a few Spanish words thrown in. Saludos.

[OrgManeuvDark]

our Hermano Pedro recently cannonized was a Canarion, we are from Guatemala and my dad remembers the old women talking about Louisiana, many of the last names from latin americans actually were brought over by the Canariones not the Peninsulares, Spain owes them a great deal for the colonization of the Western Hemisphere

[lugalten]

Sí,es cierto,España le debe mucho a los canarios que colonizaron toda América y que fueron en su mayor parte gente sencilla pero trabajadora y tranquila que supo vivir en paz junto a indígenas y otras comunidades.El hermano Pedro no era canarión,sino de Vilaflor,un bello pueblo de la isla de Tenerife.

[Perfidia77]

Yo creo que OrgManeuvDark dice la palabra "Canariones" creyendo que así se llaman los habitantes de Canarias. Pero sin intención de decir que el Hermano Pedro sea de Gran Canaria. De todas maneras está bien que aclares de donde era ese personaje.

[EpicIgnorance]

I was born in Cuba of Canary decent. Gran Canaria to be exact. Saludos a todos los Isleños!

[gatsby31]

Una pena.

[alayna489]

I am islenos and used to participate in the festivals held at the museum. My grandmother is one of the founders for the museum..unfortunately Katrina took my grandparents house and forced them to move. I feel so bad for all of my islenos family in St. Bernard that lost their homes and lives to Katrina. :[

thankyou so much for posting this video

[miryallerdyce]

I'm from the canary islands and it makes me proud to know about this story.We should preservate our culture. Very nice work with the vid.(and by the way, sorry for my english)

[checknelminate]

simply amazing, i'm very interested in visiting st. Bernard parish, just to meet these amazing individuals

[butzen504]

This film brought tears to my eyes, as these are my people, my home, and my culture. It is a sad thing that this is happening to it all. I guess this is the price we pay for coming to America to be Americans. Sad. This film was an excellent piece of work. The Canarians did an excellent job. I am an Isleño descendant from the Gutiérrez family of St. Bernard Parish, La., and maybe this video will spark an interest of preservation.

[butzen504]

Hola a todos, soy un Isleño de San Bernardo en Luisiana. I am an Isleño from St. Bernard in Louisiana. I am from the Gutiérrez family of St. Bernard that emigrated from the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands. This video is about my direct people, which are a type of creole canarian. I am Isleño and I am trying to preserve the culture and language the best I can. This video is a work of art. From Robert Gutiérrez from violet, St. Bernard Parish, La. U.S.A.

[qcracksoy]

soy canario y me llena de orgullo conocer esta historia. gracias a todos aquellos que cruzaron el charco, llevando consigo nuestros colores. thanks so much.

[niriafanorev]

This was very interesting. Thank you for posting it.

[snoopyismydog]

the folks at the canary islander museum were doing a great job, i took the tour pre katrina, i loved the houses they were putting on the property, so sorry for the loss of the homes, hope they continue their story, thanks nice video
