Texas Safety Rest Area at Exit 18 IH35 near Laredo, Texas

This is a panorama I made from several iPhone photos of the rest area at Exit 18 just north of Laredo on IH 35.  This location has parking for several trucks but I don't ever remember seeing it full. There is quite a bit of truck parking near Laredo at Exit 13 at the Pilot, Flying J and TA truck stops there. And then every major carrier has a terminal and yard near Laredo as well.

As far as I know this is the only rest area in Texas that has this style of architecture. I don't know is it properly known as Mexican architecture or more of a Spanish Architecture.

There is more information about this location here.   For more information on other safety rest areas in Texas click here.
