Hello from Brazil

[Adolfo]

Hello, my friends from the LEGO world!

My name is Adolfo, I have 34 years old, I’m from the city of Juiz de Fora, located in the State of Minas Gerais, in Brazil. I’m single e and I don’t have sons, but I become a friendly uncle surrounded by children that love LEGO in family, especially in Christmas, when my house looks like a LEGOLAND.

I collect LEGO since when I was a child and for many years I have been in the "Dark Age". In that time, I devoted my attention to another hobby, the model railroading, replaced gradually by our dear bricks. Despite my passion for trains doesn’t have an ending I always saw LEGO as a hobby with much more possibilities of construction, a place where I don’t need to explore just one theme.

When I was a child my parents gave me some sets of pirate’s collection, except the ships and when the Imperial Flagship set was launched on the market a few years ago was the opportunity I found to return to the hobby. Got the caravel and definitely woke up my AFOL spirit, but curiously for another LEGO theme that I also always had an interest, the castle.

After this stage, I decided to design and build an old dream, the Neuschanstein Castle. Started several purchases looking for bricks in many national and international sites and was exactly during this process that I discovered an official LEGO fan community in Brazil, which was a pleasant surprise.

Currently, I’m LUG Brazil’s member and through its events that I find the opportunity to show the public and especially children my constructions. I hope I can always contribute to the LEGO world and encourage good ideas and inspirations on all.

Welcome! And, after tomorrow, you'll have more time for Lego after your team is eliminated from the World Cup. Of course, I've had that extra time since Belgium beat the USA last week!

Seriously, welcome!
