I just realised that I'm staying in a four-generation family. Bosco is my age or a bit younger, so it's hard to imagine him as a grandfather. Nevertheless, his 18 year-old daughter gave birth a couple of months ago, so he is. His Mother is probably about seventy or so, but I can't really tell and would not dare to ask. So there you have it: Doña Rosario, Bosco, Seylma and Daniela. All wonderful people and great hosts.
Incidentally, doña is a title. Literally 'lady', it's a title of respect given to older women, particularly in their own homes, but also elsewhere. Basically, I have the impression that I should call all older women 'doña', and I do -- but I haven't yet figured out when to drop 'doña' in favour of 'Señora'. Eventually, I suppose I will.
