[Gocamino] Abraham's Path

[Cece Simon]

Hi All:
 
Since you're talking about other pilgrimages here, has anyone done or know much about the Via Francigena in Italy?  We've done the Camino more than once and thought we'd try this one at least for a ways before we visit Rome.  Any info will be much appreciated.
