Life in the Valley Photo Essay Ideas

For this photo essay, I have to look for things that are unique only to the Valley.  That mostly means the Mexican culture, including food, parties, music, death, church, etc, and the ranch life that, for me, would be most easily accessible north of Edinburg.  I have to go to places that will show these elements of Valley life, such as cemeteries, parties and ranches.  Early in the morning or at sunset would be the best times to take these pictures.
