usually I would post this straight from the phone to the Hypermodern Mobile Blog although I can’t get the multimedia message to work here so I’m doing it by hand.
So far the trip has been amazing, and I have about 8 days to go…I just shot a video today and will be posting it as soon as it’s edited.
Rome story #1
I have been trying learn a bit of the Italian language and earlier this week I had over-heard some folks say “let’s go” or [Andiamo] and then later today I was hungry for lunch and Taq and I had just gotten back from that big stone mouth from the ROMAN HOLIDAY movie [bocca di verit�] and I get all excited to impress her with my new knowledge and blurt out [alimentari] which basically means “Delicatessen!” She got a good giggle from that, ’cause I had meant to say “let’s go” to lunch, and out comes out just “DELICATESSEN!”…
Later note: Upon looking up delicatessen it actually is [specialit� gastronomiche].

Pete Ippel, the son of a dancer and a musician, was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001.
In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.
Mr. Ippel resides in Working Artists Ventura, a sustainable artist community in southern California. In addition, he teaches art, is a web developer, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time.
As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges.

Literally translated, alimentari means, “groceries.” However, throughout Rome (and Italy) there are also shops called alimentari that sell sandwiches, meats, cheeses, bread, sodas, chips, and a few other groceries– in essence, delicatessens.
