Snap, Pop and Fry

Our trip has been rather uneventful. I am almost 6 days in and no real hairy story to tell. This is not very normal for Melissa and me. Our parents are probably breathing a sigh of relief, but the entertainment factor is low. But I will tell you of one casualty that has happened on our little adventure.

We arrived in Milan, Italy late Friday night. We enjoyed a great night sleep and were ready for a day of touring around Milan. As I was finishing straightening my hair (because it is pretty humid here - my hair gets real "special" in the humidity) when I heard a VERY loud POP! At the same time the lights go dark and I am speechless.

It took me about 2 seconds to shake of my shock - literally and then I realized I had fried my hair straightener. I had an adapter, but not a converter. Apparently it was too much for the little guy. When I took a picture to see what happened I saw that the explosion had also knocked the towel rack off!



Sad to say this will be the last day of straight hair for me until Minnesota.
