Panama Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo I really like how retail has started to show up in Casco. Little by little!  This week, Lido Isle Boutique opened at Casa Remon`s groundfloor.  Owned by Douglas Johnson and his sister Teri, it is all about casual and beach wear. Right on time for all the beach stuff that is happening lately with TLGym`s paddle board movement!
