I'll be starting from Florence on September 20th so I'll be about a week behind you. As far as accommodations, good question - I'm also not sure what to expect - what I do know is that everything I've read says it is not like the Camino de Santiago in which I made my first night accommodation...
Thanks Dan for the update - I've been following the St. Francis Facebook page for quite a while now and have found it to be a great resource for information. Less than a month from now I'll be on my way! I have the guide and have downloaded gps files. As you pointed out I'm expecting it to be...

Fantastic! That should definitely be a special birthday for you:). Would be great to keep in contact over this next year and share whatever we learn about the via di Francesco! I've done a few camino's now and am wondering if it will be similar as far as being able to just walk and find an...
Like my other pilgrimages that I've done (Camino Frances and Camino Fatima), certain things happen in my life and I find myself finding a pilgrimage that seems to be calling me to go. Now I've stumbled upon the St. Francis way just recently and I am thinking of making that my next one. I will...
