Your aunt and uncle are the sweetest couple ever! They are so happy together and so obviously passionately in love that one can't help but smile just seeing them with each other. They are also incredibly stylish. Love it and love you all.

By the time I went to honor the memory of my lovely Mother with Star, the only available area was .. “Saint Charles Boromeo”, never have I ever new of him before but loved all you have shared about him. Well, you posted today this video of the his church… today of all days… my Moms Birthday is today!! Lovely coincidence! 🥰👍🏼

[@barblallier9413]

With all the sculptured angels and saints, soaring domes with glorious pastel airy painted scenes of Heaven, and ornate gold and white Baroque exuberance... I hardly noticed there were no stained glass windows... even the organ in all its ornate glory was eye-wateringly beautiful!! 🥲🙏😇

[@melissacoelho8413]

This was wonderful! It’s so amazing to see a city that most of us, unfortunately won’t get to see in our lifetime. But to see it through your eyes is amazing. It isn’t a travel channel or a history channel or an art channel. It’s through the eyes of someone who loves the adventure of a new place, who wants to share their adventures and their new knowledge. This has been such a pleasure, and a privilege to see this beautiful city through your eyes. Thank you. ❤

So true and Beautifully said!

[@SusanMurphy-xn5hl]

There is a synchronicity for you with Saint Borromeo too, because it was the pandemic which had such an impact on your course with the Chateau.

[@ccoeurjoli]

So clever 😮 ! 👍🏻

Nothing is of coincidence ❤

I visited all these monuments in the early ‘70s but I was too young and immature to appreciate the absolute beauty and breathtaking art. Thank you for this tour. you are an amazing tour guide. I love your Aunt and Uncle.

[@kindlydude]

Yes, I was in Austria, as well as Greece. Italy, France, Spain, Holland (Netherlands), The British Isles, etc. also in the 70's as a child. My mother wanted to see where the Sound of Music was filmed. All I can remember is walking endlessly in the mountains and outside in gardens. I think my parents left me in the hotel in the evenings with my little brother so they could go to the concerts at night!

[@MaryLawrence-c8v]

How breath taking all the beauty of Vienna!

[@ben-andyhein7497]

Re Saint Charles Borromeo: Many people actually have heard of him, they just don't realize it. Most people call it "Mission Carmel" near Monterrey, CA. But, it is actually Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo, but it is indeed the same 16th century bishop of Milan being honored [who went by "Carlo" because he was "Italian", Carlos being the Spanish and Charles being the German/English versions]. This was the favorite mission of Fra. Junipero Serra, the founder of the CA missions [for Spain], and he died at Carmel, they still have his bed!

[@crannuselshihtzu5566]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@kindlydude]

Yes. if one isn't raised Catholic (or even Episcopal/Anglican) they often don't realize that Catholic churches are named after the most popular saints all over the world. p.s I think 'Karl' is the more common (or at least older) German form for 'Charles'. It's my husband's name (Charles not Karl that is, because after WW I & WW II German names became less popular~ although Germans were once the most common ethnic group in the mid-west U.S.)... it means "Free Man", and his last name means "Bird Man" (Vogler) in Swiss... or German. ~Tara (kindlydude's wife)

Love the connections - forgive me if someone else has mentioned this - but a lot of people found you during the lockdowns, and you grew a loyal and generous audience which has secured the chapel renovations. The human experience is wild in its many variations and consistencies

Thank you for sharing this gorgeous video. We had the honour of visiting Vienna in 2018 and had a visit to the Museum which was our favourite. The venue was closed to the public and we had a private tour and found it absolutely amazing. Vienna was a captivating city and the most beautiful place to hear music, visit museums and galleries and see the architecture. You brought back wonderful memories ❤

[@patriciagreen5662]

Oh for relatives like your Aunt and Uncle! You are truly blessed. ❤️

Vienna is one of my favourite cities of the world; we celebrated New Year’s Eve there in front of the spectacular City Hall where the Viennese Ball was in full swing. The streets were hung with enormous twinkling lit chandeliers and everyone was in a festive mood. The Christmas Market and skating was happening in the city square among the trees below and hot Glüwein was flowing freely. Just before midnight, the ballroom guests came out on the upper floor of the city hall in their poufy dresses and ballroom finery to watch the fireworks and the orchestra outside struck up the Viennese Walz which we all started dancing to with strangers young and old. It was magnificent! Stephanie’s tour brought back so many great memories! ❤️

[@JenniferKokoski]

Stephanie this has to be one of your best edited videos of all time. I love how you interweaved pictures and videos of things you were referring to as you went around the museum. Just for all of us who do not have photographic memory. And the music played over the church reveal was just sublime. Seriously well done! You made Vienna come to life for those of us looking only on our screens. Bravo!

"Vienna" is a beautiful song song by Linda Eder. She used to perform on Broadway. I fell in love with her voice when I heard this song. ❤

[@MichelleMingo-m1i]

You may already have books or info in the chapel, but I just had the thought that you could collect books about the different saints and/or artwork and artists of the works in the chapel and create a small library for people to read as they sit in the chapel and appreciate the works around them. Beautiful video! It’s now on my travel list to visit Vienna.

[@pamelamcfadden337]

i love Vienna so much. Ive been there so many times (is 1 hour by plane from Romania where i live) and i find it much more beautiful and highly aristocratic than Paris or parts of Italy and even Spain. There is nothing like it. So elegant and poised. Even people are more elegant, especially older ones. Its like the old era of elegance has never left the city.

I too, had never heard of him before, but I do now, so thank you both for this wonderland of all things truly special. I also love Bruegel with his talent for hiding the real reason for his painting in amongst the grandeur of landscapes and everyday life. That pudding looked just as beautiful as the church. 🥰
