I am a physician and would like to somehow get a nice print of this to frame for my colleague going into Endocrinology. Pemberton's sign is referenced by a Toltec statue with his arms raised in Sapira's Art and Science of the Bedside Examination" - could I send you a check for you to email me the largest pixel density photo you have? Or do you know of a book that has this statue in it? Thanks!

One thing led to another and then I'm feasting my eyes on all your beautiful pictures. I have only just found your blog so am looking forward to reading your older posts as I love architecture, archeology and history.<br /><br />There is notably one place I see you have yet to visit, Nayarit. It is notable to me because I will be moving there this year to join my husband and have been trying to find out about it's history. I hope to someday read about your adventures there as well.<br /><br />In the meanwhile I plan to devour where you have already visited. Your pictures and stories are amazing! <br /><br />TrinidadTrinidad Salamancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663418720571152780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330114585754884758.post-16832846758162203402011-03-24T20:36:23.320-06:002011-03-24T20:36:23.320-06:00Great post Jim!
