Calling Ireland

Had to figure out all over again how to call Ireland from my phone.
For example, to dial St James Church in Dublin, one has to figure out how to handle the zero in the area code. If one is not aware, dialing the 0 causes the connection to break.

+ 353 (0) 1 453 1143

I suppose everything works if you're in Ireland, using the Irish phone system, with an Irish phone number, but it does not work on my Android phone with the United States phone number

So the proper sequence is + 353 1 453 1143

Dublin center

So given that it's Ireland, I'm not surprised that it's raining. But it is 5:30 in the morning and it is still dark and most everything is closed. So that explains why I'm sitting in a Burger King having a latte. My bus leaves at 7:15 and I've just got some time to kill. Lol

Making Memories Enjoy!
Send off at the Rochester airport. Mom, me, Liz and Dave. Only 3200 miles to go.
