Thank you! I had to look up what "harika" meant, and now I know that it is a positive and right compliment.

Just for the record and to help with pronunciation, it's "HOO-NI-PER-OH SER-UH"....not to be confused with or pronounced like the Sierra Nevada Mountains (There's no "I" in it).

Thanks for the correction, kdm71291! The truth is that our narrator, William, sometimes mispronounces words from time to time. I hope you can forgive him/us...

@@SWExplore Oh, not to worry...it's not that serious...just a technicality.....but now you know. 🙂 I've lived in coastal So-Cal my entire life.....all but about 7 and a half of my 60 years in Ventura....and always near a Mission! The other towns being Goleta and Lompoc. (I lived in Oxnard for a total of about a year but I don't really count that, haha!) ;-)

Father Serra. Sierra is related to Madre, not padre, as in Sierra Madre Mountains, meaning Mother Mountain. Good video otherwise.

Sorry for the oversight regarding Father Serra, and thank you for watching and supporting our channel.

@@SWExplore "Serra" is related to "sierra" .... "serra" is Latin for "saw" (serra: serrated, etc.), which, again, is exactly what sierra means..... I find the history of the names of geographical features and places in beautiful California to be utterly fascinating. And again, really enjoyed your video, we absolutely love Ventura and the beautiful Mission. Strange for an agnostic, no? Hope you do one on the Santa Barbara Mission at some point. I'm subscribing in that hope.

@@setaymada5023 We tried recording at the Santa Barbara Mission at the start of the covid pandemic, and it was closed. I think it is time for us to go back and record a video at Santa Barbara Mission again.
