Who Writes This Stuff
Rebecca Smith Hurd is an American journalist, foodie, and world traveler. She arrived in Puebla, Mexico, in August 2007 to study Spanish, fell in love with the place and its people, and decided to stay. Since then, she’s taken in as many sights, sounds, tastes, and cultural experiences as possible, from eating fried grasshoppers (with chile and lime) to being charged by a wooden bull (exploding with fireworks) at a neighborhood carnival. In the process, Hurd has become all about Puebla. She spends lots of time in nearby Cholula with her other half, who is, as people here like to say, más méxicano que el chile, or more Mexican than the chile pepper — in his case, a poblano one.
