SOUTH TEXAS ROADTRIP
Interstate 35 Texas (Page Two)

Interstate 35 goes from Laredo, Texas, to Duluth, Minnesota. The highway travels 504 miles in the state of Texas. On Day Two of the South Texas Roadtrip, I drove Interstate 35 from San Antonio to Laredo.

This page covers pictures taken of Interstate 35 from Day Two. For pictures from Day Three and Day Four, please see the Interstate 35 Texas (Page Three) page.
