Axolotl rarely live above the radar for most people. Why then do I find them so interesting? There was an article in the NY Times today about them.

There is also a short story by Julio Cortazar that discribes a man changing places with an Axolotl in a tank. I remember reading it in Spanish in college and thinking long and hard about the writing and the story. Maybe it’s just because of the way the Nahuatl word sounds. Like how Ahuacatl changed to Aguacate and then Avocado.

Quetzalcoatl, Chocolatl, Coyotl, Tomatl…

Man, I wish I could speak Nahuatl.
